Starting and stopping an integration node on z/OS

Run the appropriate command from SDSF to start or stop an integration node .

Procedure

Start the component by using the command /S integrationNodeName.
This command produces the following output, where IB01NODE is the name of the integration node:
```
+BIP9141I IB01NODE 0 The component was started
```
Substitute your own integrationNodeName name for IB01NODE.

The verification step runs, followed by starting the control process and any DataFlowEngine (integration server) address spaces.

If the verification step fails, the errors are reported to the STDOUT stream in the JOBLOG. The control process and DataFlowEngine address spaces are not started. Review the messages to see what errors have been reported, and take the suggested actions to resolve these problems.
Alternatively, start the control process only by using the command:
```
  /S integrationNodeName,STRTP=MAN 
```
If the verification step fails for any reason, the errors are reported to the STDOUT stream in the JOBLOG; the control process is not started. Review the messages to see what errors have been reported, and take the suggested actions to resolve these problems.

No DataFlowEngine address spaces are started automatically if you specify STRTP=MAN. If the verification step is successful and the control process starts successfully, fully start the integrationNodeName by issuing the console command:
```
/F integrationNodeName, SC
```
To stop an integration node, run the following command:
```
/P integrationNodeName
```
