Stopping IBM Connect:Direct
The stop command initiates an orderly IBM® Connect:Direct® shutdown sequence or forcibly terminates the software. After you run the stop command, no new Processes are allowed to run and no new connections with remote systems are established. Commands can be issued and users can sign on until the server terminates.
You can specify the force, immediate, quiesce, or step parameters with the stop command.
Note: The force parameter is required when running IBM Connect:Direct with the LU6.2 feature on any supported platform other than AIX.
Following are the parameters for the stop command:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
force | Forcibly terminates IBM Connect:Direct and returns control to the operating system. |
immediate | Begins an immediate, but orderly shutdown of all activity and terminates IBM Connect:Direct. The software terminates connections, writes statistics records, closes files, and shuts down. |
quiesce | Runs all executing Processes to completion before shutting down IBM Connect:Direct. No new Processes are started. This is the default value. |
step | Shuts down IBM Connect:Direct after all currently executing Process steps are complete. The software writes statistics records, closes files, and shuts down. All active Processes are retained in the TCQ. Processes restart when the software is re-initialized. |
