Stopping a queue manager manually on Windows

If we are unable to stop a queue manager on Windows by using the endmqm command, we can try to stop the queue manager manually by ending any processes that are running and stopping the IBM MQ service.

About this task

Tip: The Windows Task Manager and the tasklist command give limited information about tasks. For more information to help to determine which processes relate to a particular queue manager, consider using a tool such as Process Explorer (procexp.exe), which is available for download from the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com.

To stop a queue manager on Windows, complete the following steps.

Procedure

1. List the names (IDs) of the processes that are running, by using the Windows Task Manager.
2. End the processes by using Windows Task Manager, or the taskkill command, in the following order (if they are running):

   Process name	Description
   AMQZMUC0	Critical process manager
   AMQZXMA0	Execution controller
   AMQZFUMA	OAM process
   AMQZLAA0	LQM agents
   AMQZLSA0	LQM agents
   AMQZMUF0	Utility Manager
   AMQZMGR0	Process controller
   AMQZMUR0	Restartable process manager
   AMQFQPUB	Publish Subscribe process
   AMQFCXBA	Broker worker process
   AMQRMPPA	Process pooling process
   AMQCRSTA	Non-threaded responder job process
   AMQCRS6B	LU62 receiver channel and client connection
   AMQRRMFA	The repository process (for clusters)
   AMQPCSEA	The command server
   RUNMQTRM	Invoke a trigger monitor for a server
   RUNMQDLQ	Invoke dead-letter queue handler
   RUNMQCHI	The channel initiator process
   RUNMQLSR	The channel listener process
   AMQXSSVN	Shared memory servers

3. Stop the IBM MQ service from Administration tools > Services on the Windows Control Panel.
4. If we have tried all methods and the queue manager has not stopped, reboot the system.
