Stopping pipelines

Stopping a pipeline means changing its status from active and open for processing data to inactive and closed to incoming data. You can manually stop one pipeline at a time. Use these instructions to stop a pipeline after you make changes to the system configuration (then re-start the pipeline for the configuration changes to take effect), if you are installing a hot fix or an upgrade release, or if you are making configuration changes to the pipeline node that hosts the pipeline.

Procedure:
  1. Verify that the pipeline that you want to stop is currently running. There are two ways to verify this:
    1. If you are using the Configuration Console to monitor pipelines and this pipeline is configured for monitoring, check the Pipeline Status tab. The status for the pipeline should show as Active.
    2. Or at a command prompt, type the following command:
    3. pipeline -n pipelinename -l where pipelinename is the name of the pipeline that you want to stop. The command prompt returns Running if the pipeline is active.
  2. On a command line, type the pipeline stop command: pipeline -e -n pipelinename where pipelinename is the name of the pipeline that you want to stop.
    Note: If you started the pipeline using the debug pipeline command option, you can stop the pipeline by pressing Ctrl + C at a command line.
  3. Verify that the command worked, and the pipeline is stopped.
    1. If you are using the Configuration Console to monitor pipeline and this pipeline has been configured for monitoring, check the Pipeline Status tab. The status for the pipeline should show as Down.
    2. Or at a command prompt, type the following command:
    pipeline -n pipelinename -l where pipelinename is the name of the pipeline you just stopped. The command prompt returns Stopped if the pipeline is stopped.
