STOP,SERVICE command

You can stop an instance of a non-critical service that is defined in the configuration for the Classic data server.

About this task

Important: You should not issue the STOP,SERVICE command regularly. When a data server is configured, you typically do not need to start and stop the services that run in the data server individually.

The STOP command cancels any user activity in a service and disconnects all active users from that service.

Restriction: If you attempt to stop a critical service by issuing a STOP,SERVICE command or a STOP,TASKID command, a warning message is issued.

```
F server_name,STOP,TASKID=task_ID
