Managing services

By using the CONTROL parameter, an instance of a service object can be either started and stopped automatically by the queue manager, or started and stopped using the MQSC commands START SERVICE and STOP SERVICE.

When an instance of a service object is started, a message is written to the queue manager error log containing the name of the service object and the process ID of the started process. An example log entry for a server service object starting follows:

02/15/2005 11:54:24 AM - Process(10363.1) User(mqm) Program(amqzmgr0)
Host(HOST_1) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.1.0.0) QMgr(A.B.C)
AMQ5028: The Server 'S1' has started. ProcessId(13031).

EXPLANATION:
The Server process has started.
ACTION:

An example log entry for a command service object starting follows:

02/15/2005 11:53:55 AM - Process(10363.1) User(mqm) Program(amqzmgr0)
Host(HOST_1) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.1.0.0) QMgr(A.B.C)
AMQ5030: The Command 'C1' has started. ProcessId(13030).

EXPLANATION:

When an instance server service stops, a message is written to the queue manager error logs containing the name of the service and the process ID of the ending process. An example log entry for a server service object stopping follows:

02/15/2005 11:54:54 AM - Process(10363.1) User(mqm) Program(amqzmgr0)
Host(HOST_1) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.1.0.0) QMgr(A.B.C)
AMQ5029: The Server 'S1' has ended. ProcessId(13031).
