Controlling systems

The Management Console enables you to control the systems that are running. If you right-click on CompoundSystem in the navigation pane (see "Multiple Processes" for additional information when using the multiple-processes feature), a context menu appears that has disconnect and stopping options. The following instructions describe how to disconnect from the Launcher and stop the service on a Microsoft Windows system. See the related reference topics for details about stopping the Launcher on a UNIX system.

To stop an instance of the Launcher

  1. From the Management Console navigation pane, right-click CompoundSystem and select Stop from the context menu.

    The status of the system changes from Running to Stopping to Stopped.

  2. Go to the Launcher menu and select Disconnect.

    The connection is terminated and the CompoundSystem disappears from the navigation pane.

To stop the Launcher service (Windows)

  1. From your desktop, right-click My Computer and select Manage.
  2. From the Computer Management window, expand the Services and Applications list and select Services.
  3. Right-click WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher and select Stop from the context menu.
