Stop a listener port
Use this task to stop a listener port on an application server, to prevent the listeners for message-driven beans associated with the port from retrieving messages.
A listener port defines the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a deployed message-driven bean. See Message-driven beans - listener port components.
If a message-driven bean fails to process a message several times, the listener port is automatically stopped by the application server. We can also stop a listener port manually. When a listener port is stopped, the listener manager stops the listeners for all message-driven beans associated with the port. Consequently, the associated message-driven beans can no longer process messages.
Procedure
