Starting or stopping deployed resources

Use the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit or the web user interface to start or stop applications, integration services, and message flows. Use the mqsistart or mqsistop commands to start or stop applications, libraries or message flows.

About this task

You cannot start or stop libraries or subflows. If a message flow includes a subflow that is defined in a .subflow file, you can start your message flow only if the subflow is deployed to the same integration server.

If you stop the integration server in which an application, integration service, or message flow is running then, by default, the mode of the resource (started or stopped) is retained. However, you can configure the resources so that, when you deploy or restart an integration server, the resources start in a specific mode; see Setting the start mode of message flows and applications at run time.

You can use the following methods to stop and start applications, libraries, integration services, and message flows:
