Starting and stopping WebSphere MQ client links

Use this task to start or stop WebSphere® MQ client links, to stop message flows with between the default messaging provider and Version 5 JMS applications connected through the client links.

About this task

You can start a WebSphere MQ client link that is not running (has a runtime status of Stopped) or stop a client link that is running (has a runtime status of Started). This also starts or stops all client connections on the selected WebSphere MQ client links. Alternatively, you can start or stop individual client connections on the WebSphere MQ client link, as described in Starting and stopping WebSphere MQ client connections.

When stopping a client link, you can choose whether to force the client link to stop immediately or after any messages currently on its client connections have been processed. You can also choose the final state that you want the client link to be in when it has been stopped.

To start or stop one or more WebSphere MQ client links, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Display the WebSphere MQ client links collection page. Click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Topology] Messaging engines > engine_name > [Additional Properties] WebSphere MQ client links .
  2. Select the check box next to the name of each client link that you want to start or stop.
  3. Click the appropriate button:
    Start Start the selected items. This enables JMS applications to use the client link to access JMS resources provided by the default messaging provider.
    Stop Stop a selected WebSphere MQ client link. You must first have selected the link to be stopped.
    You can choose the mode of stop action and the desired state when the link has been stopped:
    Stop mode:
    Force
    Stop the link immediately.
    Quiesce
    Stop the link after any messages currently on its client connections have been processed.
      Target state:
    Inactive
    Stop the link to an inactive state. If an application tries to use the link, the link is started again.
    Stopped
    Stop the link to a stopped state. Applications cannot use the client link. The link can only be started again by administrator action.

Results

The status of the client link changes and a message stating that the link has started or stopped is displayed at the top the page.
