Restarting, stopping, and viewing the status of MQ Connectivity by using the Amlen WebUI

System administrators can view the status of the MQ Connectivity process, and restart and stop the process by using the Server Control page in the Amlen WebUI.

When the MQ Connectivity process is stopped, the durable subscriptions that are used to receive published messages remain active. Therefore, any messages that are published while the MQ Connectivity process is stopped are delivered as soon as the process is restarted. As the messages are buffered, the maximum messages limit of the destination mapping rules might be reached. This limit prevents publishers from sending any more messages. If you do not want this behavior, or if you are stopping the MQ Connectivity process for a long time, disable all the destination mapping rules before you stop the process.

You can view the status of the MQ Connectivity process, and restart and stop the process by using the Amlen WebUI, or by using REST Administration APIs. For more information about using REST Administration APIs to view the status of the MQ Connectivity process, see Viewing the status of the MQ Connectivity process by using a REST Administration API. For more information about using REST Administration APIs to start, restart and stop the MQ Connectivity process, see Starting, restarting and stopping the MQ Connectivity process by using REST Administration APIs.
