apstop command

The apstop command stops the system software stack, which comprises the system application and platform manager.

When no parameters are specified, the command stops the system application, platform applications and platform management. Platform manager's state is Inactive, that is, platform manager is started but no monitoring takes place. The system application is also stopped.

The command checks if Db2® backup or restore operations are in progress.

Db2
If so, it exits with an error message.

Syntax

apstop [-h][-v][--service][-m][--ignore_backup][-a|-p]

Parameters

-h|--help
Displays help for the command.
-v|--verbose

--service
Instead of restarting the platform manager service and putting it in state Inactive, the service is stopped.
--ignore_backup
Ignores the ongoing database backup and stops the system application anyway.
-a|--app_only
Stops the system application only. A sample output follows:
[root@node0101-fab ~]# apstop -a
Successfully deactivated application
-p|--platform_only
Stops only the management platform leaving the system application intact. A sample output follows:
[root@node0101-fab ~]# apstop -p
Successfully deactivated platform
-m|--monitored_apps
Stops platform manager and the monitored platform applications. Works only if -p is used:
[root@node0101 ~]# apstop -pm
Successfully deactivated platform
