STOP LISTENER

Usage notes for STOP LISTENER

The listener stops in quiesce mode (it disregards any further requests).

On z/OS:

• The command server and the channel initiator must be running.
• If a listener is listening on multiple addresses or ports, only the address and port combinations with the address, or port, specified are stopped.
• If a listener is listening on all addresses for a particular port, a stop request for a specific IPADDR with the same port fails.
• If neither an address nor a port is specified, all addresses and ports are stopped and the listener task ends.

Parameter descriptions for STOP LISTENER

(name)

Name of the listener to be stopped. If you specify this parameter, you cannot specify any other parameters.

This parameter is required on all platforms other than z/OS where it is not a supported parameter.

CMDSCOPE

This parameter specifies how the command runs when the queue manager is a member of a queue sharing group.

' '

The command runs on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.

qmgr-name

The command runs on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue sharing group.

You can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you are using a queue sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

INDISP

Specifies the disposition of the inbound transmissions that the listener handles. The possible values are:

QMGR

Handling for transmissions directed to the queue manager. This is the default.

GROUP

Handling for transmissions directed to the queue sharing group. This is allowed only if there is a shared queue manager environment.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

IPADDR

IP address for TCP/IP specified in IPv4 dotted decimal, IPv6 hexadecimal notation, or alphanumeric form. This is valid only if the transmission protocol (TRPTYPE) is TCP/IP.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

PORT

The port number for TCP/IP. This is the port number on which the listener is to stop listening. This is valid only if the transmission protocol is TCP/IP.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

TRPTYPE

Transmission protocol used. This is optional.

TCP

TCP. This is the default if TRPTYPE is not specified.

LU62

SNA LU 6.2.

This parameter is valid only on z/OS.

IGNSTATE

Specifies whether the command fails if the listener is already stopped. The possible values are:

NO

The command fails if the listener is already stopped. This is the default value.

YES

The command succeeds regardless of the current state of the listener.
