Synonym:


STOP SERVICE

STOP SERVICE ( service-name ) IGNSTATE(NO)(YES)


Usage notes

If the service is running, it is requested to stop. This command is processed asynchronously so might return before the service has stopped.

If the service that is requested to stop has no STOP command defined, an error is returned.


Parameter descriptions for STOP SERVICE

    (service-name)
    The name of the service definition to be stopped. This is required. The name must that of an existing service on this queue manager.

    IGNSTATE
    This parameter allows you to specify whether we want the command to return an error return code, if the object is already in the state the command would move it to. Possible values are:

      NO
      If the service being stopped is already in that state, the command returns RC=10. This is the existing behavior, and NO is the default value.

      YES
      If the service being stopped is already in that state, the command returns RC=0. The return code is the case as if the service is not running.
