Stopping a CICS-MQ monitor
When the MQ connection is stopped, the MQ monitor is stopped automatically. You can also manually stop a CICS®-MQ monitor in several ways.
If the z/OS Workload Manager (WLM) health service is active (see WLMHEALTH), with every increment in the z/OS WLM HEALTH value of the CICS region from zero to 100%, an attempt is made to start all stopped MQ monitors that have been defined with AUTOSTART(YES). Therefore, if you want certain MQ monitors to remain stopped during this period, you must set AUTOSTART(NO) for these MQMONITOR resources. For more information, see Effect of z/OS Workload Manager Health service on MQMONITORs and Alert monitor (CKAM).
Procedure
- Using a CICS
application program that issues EXEC CICS SET MQMONITOR
You can stop a CICS-MQ monitor by issuing an EXEC CICS SET MQMONITOR command in a CICS application program.
- Using a CICSPlex® SM application program that issues EXEC CPSM PERFORM SET OBJECT(MQMON)
ACTION(STOP)
You can stop a CICS-MQ monitor by issuing an EXEC CPSM PERFORM SET OBJECT(MQMON) ACTION(STOP) command in a CICSPlex SM application program.
- Using the CICS
CEMT transaction
You can stop an MQ monitor by issuing the SET MQMONITOR command in the CICS CEMT transaction.
- Using the CICSPlex SM web user interface
You can stop a CICS-MQ monitor from the WebSphere MQ monitor view in the CICSPlex SM web user interface (WUI).
- Using the CICS Explorer®
You can stop a CICS-MQ monitor from the CICS Explorer. The CICS Explorer provides a functional equivalent to the CICSPlex SM web user interface and the CEMT transaction.
