  • 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, we 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.

        We 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.

    The listener stops in quiesce mode (it disregards any further requests).
