About this task
Note: If you are using the IBM Integration Toolkit, switch to the Integration Development
perspective. In the Integration Nodes view, right-click the integration node for options to start or stop
it.
To start or stop an integration node by using the command
line, complete the following steps.
- To start an integration node, enter the following
command on the command line:
mqsistart IBNODE
Substitute your own integration node name for IBNODE.
To start an associated queue manager for the integration node, use the
strmqm command. For more information, see the topic
Starting and stopping a queue manager in the WebSphere® MQ documentation.
The integration node is
started. If you are using Windows, the
command initiates the Windows service for
the integration node.
Check that the integration node has initialized successfully by
reviewing the following logs:
- On Windows, check the Application Log in the Event
Viewer.
- On Linux and UNIX,
check the system log.
The log contains messages about verification procedures. If all
tests are successful, only an initial start message is recorded. If one or
more verification tests are unsuccessful, the log also includes messages
that provide details of the tests that have failed. If errors are reported,
review the messages, and take the suggested actions to resolve these
problems.
- To stop an integration node, enter the following
command on the command line:
mqsistop IBNODE
Substitute your own integration node name for IBNODE.
To stop the associated queue manager, run the endmqm
command. For more information, see the topic Starting and stopping a
queue manager in the WebSphere MQ
documentation.
