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:
- Verify that the pipeline that you want to stop is currently running.
There are two ways to verify this:
- 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.
- Or at a command prompt, type the following command:
- 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.
- 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.
- Verify that the command worked, and the pipeline is stopped.
- 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.
- 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.
