Stopping a messaging engine

You can stop a messaging engine directly or by stopping the server that hosts the messaging engine.

About this task
There are two ways of stopping a messaging engine:
Immediate
The messaging engine is stopped on completion of all messaging operations that are being carried out at the time of the stop request.
Force
The messaging engine is stopped without allowing messaging operations to complete and applications are forcefully disconnected.

To stop a messaging engine, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration > Buses.
  2. In the content pane, click the name of the bus that your messaging engine belongs to.
  3. In the content pane, under Additional properties, click Messaging engines. The list of messaging engines in the bus is displayed.
  4. Select the messaging engine that you wish to stop.
  5. Select Immediate or Force from the Stop mode pull-down list.
  6. Click Stop.
Results
Tip: If an immediate stop is taking too long, you can escalate it to a force stop by selecting the Force option. This overrides your previous selection of the Immediate option.
