Stopping a channel listener
We can stop a channel listener using MQSC commands or using the operations and control panels.
To stop a channel listener using the MQSC commands, use STOP LISTENER.
Use the operations and control panels, starting from the initial panel, complete these fields and press enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Action | 7 (Stop) |
| Object type | SYSTEM |
| Name | Blank |
The Stop a System Function panel is displayed (see Figure 1 ).
Select function type 2 (channel listener). Select Inbound disposition. Select Transport type. If the transport type is 'T', select Port number and (optionally) IP address. Press enter. Note: For a TCP/IP listener, we can stop specific combinations of Port and IP address, or we can stop all combinations. Parent topic: Monitor and control channels on z/OS
