Use this task to start or stop WebSphere MQ client links, to stop
message flows with between the default messaging provider and Version 5 JMS
applications connected through the client links.
Why and when to perform this task
You can start a WebSphere MQ client link that is not running (has
a runtime status of Stopped) or stop a client link that is running (has a
runtime status of Started). This also starts or stops all client connections
on the selected WebSphere MQ client links. Alternatively, you can start or
stop individual client connections on the WebSphere MQ client link, as described
in Starting and stopping WebSphere MQ client connections.
When stopping
a client link, you can choose whether to force the client link to stop immediately
or after any messages currently on its client connections have been processed.
You can also choose the final state that you want the client link to be in
when it has been stopped.
To start or stop one or more WebSphere MQ
client links, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.
Steps for this task
- Display the WebSphere MQ client links collection page. Click bus_name .
- Select the check box next to the name of each client link that
you want to start or stop.
- Click the appropriate button:
Start |
Click this button to start selected items. This
enables JMS applications to use the client link to access JMS resources provided
by the default messaging provider. |
Stop |
Click this button to stop a selected WebSphere MQ client link. You
must first have selected the link to be stopped.You can choose the mode
of stop action and the desired state when the link has been stopped: - Stop mode:
- Force
- Stop the link immediately.
- Quiesce
- Stop the link after any messages currently on its client connections have
been processed.
- Target state:
- Inactive
- Stop the link to an inactive state. If an application tries to use the
link, the link is started again.
- Stopped
- Stop the link to a stopped state. Applications cannot use the client link.
The link can only be started again by administrator action.

The status of the client link changes and a message stating that the
link has started or stopped is displayed at the top the page.
