Stopping the Directory Server

 

Use this information to stop the Directory Server.

Stopping the Directory Server affects all applications using the server at the time it is stopped. This includes Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) applications that are currently using the directory server for EIM operations. All applications are disconnected from the directory server, however, they are not prevented from attempting to reconnect to the server.

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand Network.

2. Expand Servers.

3. Click TCP/IP.

4. Right-click IBM Directory Server and select Stop.

   The directory server might take several minutes to stop, depending on the speed of your system, the amount of server activity, and the amount of available memory. You can check the status of the server periodically (see Checking the status of the Directory Server) to see if it has started yet.

The Directory Server can also be stopped from the character-base interface by entering the command ENDTCPSVR *DIRSRV, ENDTCPSVR *ALL, or ENDTCP. ENDTCPSVR *ALL and ENDTCP also affect any other TCP/IP servers that run on your system. ENDTCP will also end TCP/IP itself.
