Stopping the Queue Handler
You stop the queue handler by entering the STOP command.
The syntax of the STOP command is:
►►──┬─STOP ─┬──id──────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄
└─P ────┘
The id is the identifier that you used in the START command to start the queue
handler.
Example: To stop the queue handler that was started with the procedure
DVGQHPRO or with the id QH, enter:
P DVGQHPRO
or
PQH
Do not use the CANCEL system command to stop the queue handler unless the
queue handler has not terminated several minutes after you entered the STOP
command, and is apparently in a wait state. When you stop the queue handler, all
running servers are stopped immediately. The file transfers that are currently being
processed are interrupted and checkpoints are taken. When you restart the queue
handler, any file-transfer request that specified automatic transfer restart is rescheduled
when a server that serves its request class becomes available.
The termination of the queue handler can take several minutes, depending on the
system’s performance. If, after a defined time interval, not all servers could be
stopped, the queue handler terminates. The success of stopping the servers is
indicated by a message. If not all servers are stopped, cancel the servers that are
still running.
