Stopping a proxy server

Stop a proxy server to end a server process based on the process definition settings in the current application server configuration.

Before you begin

Ensure that you understand how stopping a particular server affects your ability to handle work requests, especially if you need to maintain a highly available environment.

About this task

There are times you need to stop a proxy server. For example, you might want to upgrade the operating system, or you might want to change a configuration setting for the proxy server. You can use one of the following options to stop a proxy server.
Avoid trouble [z/OS] Avoid trouble: The quiesce function for the SIP proxy server is not supported on the z/OS platform. To use a similar function on z/OS, see the information center article, Pausing an application server listener to manually update a high availability application.gotcha

Procedure

Results

The specified proxy server stops as soon as requests assigned to that server finish processing. To verify that the proxy server is in the stop state, in the administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere proxy servers.
Attention: If the stopServer command is issued from the command line, then the server delays shutdown for a period of time until new inbound messages to route are not no longer being received. The quiesce feature notifies the load balancer to discontinue routing inbound messages by sending error responses to the advisor messages.
