Other platforms
Usage notes
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.
