Linux and UNIX systems: Stop S-TAP using GIM

Learn how to stop an S-TAP using GIM.

About this task

On the database host itself, you can stop S-TAP (and all other GIM modules except GIM itself) by stopping GIM's supervisor service with the command: stop gsvr_<release number>. Use initctl list to get the list of services statuses.

You can use GIM to stop S-TAP without ever having to log into the database server. Complete the following steps to change the STAP_ENABLED parameter and schedule the change on the database server.
