Start and stop WebSphere MQ client connections
Use this task to start or stop client connections on a WebSphere MQ client link, to stop message flows between the default messaging provider and the JMS application developed for WAS v5.1 that uses the connections.
We can start a WebSphere MQ client connection that is not running (has a runtime status of Inactive) or stop a client connection that is running (has a runtime status of Started). Alternatively, you can start or stop all client connections on the WebSphere MQ client link, as described in Start and stop WebSphere MQ client links.
When stopping a client connection, you can choose whether to force the client connection to stop immediately or after any messages currently on its client connections have been processed. Client connections are always stopped to an inactive state.
To start or stop one or more WebSphere MQ client connections, use the admin console to complete the following steps.
Procedure
- Display the WebSphere MQ client connections collection page. Click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Messaging engines -> engine_name -> [Additional Properties] WebSphere MQ client links -> link_name [Additional Properties] Client connections .
- Select the check box next to the name of each client connection to start or stop.
- Click the appropriate button:
Start Start selected items. Stop Stop a selected WebSphere MQ client connection. We must first have selected the connection to be stopped. We can choose the mode of stop action, but connections are always stopped to an inactive state:
- Stop mode:
- Force
- Stop the connection immediately.
- Quiesce
- Stop the connection after any messages currently on the connection have been processed.
- Target state:
- Inactive
- Stop the link to an inactive state. If an application tries to use the link, the link is started again.
Results
The status of the client connection changes and a message stating that the connection has started or stopped is displayed at the top the page.
