START and STOP commands on z/OS

These examples use a broker called MQP1BRK. Start and stop the broker or User Name Server using the MVS START (S) and STOP (P) commands. If you want to pass information to the broker or User Name Server while it is running, use the MVS MODIFY command (F) to issue commands. For example:
F MQP1BKR,rt

The MVS command START (S) starts a broker, Configuration Manager, or User Name Server (server component) on MVS. This initiates the control address space, plus other address spaces as needed, to run that component.

The MVS command STOP (P) stops a server component completely, including its control address space.

For administration purposes you can bring the server component into another state, where the control address space is still running, but all other components are stopped.

For example, this is needed in order to change broker startup parameters, see mqsichangebroker command. You can do this by using the MODIFY (/F) command on the started component, and using the startcomponent (SC) or stopcomponent (PC) options. See mqsistart command and mqsistop command for more information.
