About this task
Note: If you are using the IBM® App Connect
Enterprise Toolkit, switch to the Integration Development perspective. In the Integration Explorer 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 INODE
Substitute your own integration node name for INODE.
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.
You can check that the integration node is running by using the
mqsilist command; for
example:
mqsilist
...
BIP1325I: Integration node 'NODEIPL101' with administration URI 'http://<host>:4417' is running.
You can also 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 INODE
Substitute your own integration node name for INODE.
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.
You can check that the integration node is stopped by using the
mqsilist command; for
example:
mqsilist
...
BIP1326I: Integration node 'ACE02NODE' is stopped.
