Select the disposition of the channel for which the stop is to be done and on which queue manager it is to be stopped.

Choose the stop mode that you require:

Quiesce

The channel will stop when the current message is completed and the batch will then be ended, even if the batch size value has not been reached and there are messages already waiting on the transmission queue. No new batches will be started. This is the default.

Force

The channel stops immediately. If a batch of messages is in progress, an ‘in-doubt’ situation may result.

Choose the queue manager and connection name for the channel you want to stop.

Choose the status that you require:

Stopped

The channel will not be restarted automatically, and must be restarted manually. This is the default value if no queue manager or connection name is specified. If a name is specified, it is not allowed.

Inactive

The channel will be restarted automatically when required. This is the default value if a queue manager or connection name is specified.

Press Enter to stop the channel.

See Stopping and quiescing channels for more information. For information about restarting stopped channels, see Restarting stopped channels.
