Use this task to start or stop WebSphere® MQ client links, to stop
message flows between the default messaging provider and JMS
applications developed for WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1, connected through the client links.
About 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.
Procedure
