Stopping an integration server

You can stop an integration server under an integration node by using the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, the web user interface, or the administration REST API. You can stop an independent integration server by stopping its IntegrationServer process.

About this task

If resources are deployed to your integration server, the started or stopped state of the applications, integration services, and message flows is remembered when you stop the integration server. You can start or stop deployed resources before the integration server is stopped; see Starting or stopping deployed resources.

For an integration server under an integration node, the integration node processes all inflight messages and associated transactions for each message flow before it stops.

To stop an integration server under an integration node, you can use one of the following methods:
Tip: If you use the Enterprise Toolkit or web user interface to stop an integration server under an integration node, a .stopped file is added to the server's directory. When the integration node is next restarted, the integration server will not be restarted automatically (unless the .stopped file is deleted before the integration node is started).
To stop an independent integration server by following these steps:
  • On Windows, you can stop an integration server either by stopping the IntegrationServer process (for example, in the Windows Task Manager), or by pressing Ctrl+C in the App Connect Enterprise command console.
  • On Linux, you can stop the integration server by sending the SIGINT signal to the IntegrationServer process.

Stopping an integration node's server by using the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit

Procedure

To stop an integration server under an integration node by using the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, and switch to the Integration Development perspective.
  2. In the Integration Explorer view, expand the integration node, right-click the integration server, and then click Stop.

Results

The selected integration server is stopped, and a .stopped file is added to the server's directory. The Integration Explorer view is updated to indicate that the server is stopped.

Stopping an integration server by using the web user interface

Procedure

To stop an integration server by using the web user interface:

  1. Start the web user interface for your integration node, as described in Accessing the web user interface.
  2. Expand the list of folders to find the one that you want to stop, right-click it, and then click Stop.

Results

The selected integration server is stopped, and a .stopped file is added to the server's directory. The web user interface is updated to indicate that the server is stopped.
