Starting and stopping the MQXR service

Before we can start or stop the MQXR service, the queue manager must be running.

When you start the MQXR service on a queue manager, it listens on the receiving ends of the telemetry channels on that queue manager for incoming messages from clients. Stopping the MQXR service has the following implications:

• The MQXR service does not listen for client connections.
• The Telemetry folder cannot be expanded. This means that we cannot:
  • Create or view telemetry channels
  • View client connections
  • Send messages to clients
  • Receive messages from clients

We can modify the properties of an MQXR service in a similar way to a standard IBM MQ service. Right-click the service name, and click Properties.

In the Properties window, we can configure the MQXR service to start and stop with the queue manager, or start and stop manually, by selecting the appropriate option from the Service control menu.

Procedure

Use the following steps to start or stop the MQXR service:

1. In the Navigator view, click the Services folder.
2. Ensure that Show System Objects is selected.
3. In the Content view, right-click the MQXR service name (SYSTEM.MQXR.SERVICE), and click Start or Stop.
4. Click Yes on the confirmation dialog.
