Set message listener resources for message-driven beans >Stopping a listener port
Use this task to stop a listener port on an application server, to prevent the listeners for message-driven beans associated with the port from retrieving messages.
A listener port defines the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a deployed message-driven bean. For more information, see Message-driven beans - listener port components.
If configured as enabled, a listener port is started automatically when a message-driven bean associated with that port is installed. However, we can also start or stop a listener port manually.
When you stop a listener port, the listener manager stops the listeners for all message-driven beans associated with the port.
- Start the admin console.
- In the navigation pane, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > [Communications] Messaging > Message listener service > [Additional Properties] Listener Ports
The Message listener port collection panel is displayed.
- Select the check box for the listener port that you want to stop.
- Click Stop.
- Save the changes to the master configuration.
- To have the changed configuration take effect, stop then restart the appserver.
