fteStopLogger (stop a logger)

The fteStopLogger command stops a logger.

Purpose

Use the fteStopLogger command to stop a logger. The logger can be either a file logger, which records a history of managed file transfer activity to a file, or a database logger which records the history to a database.

Additional notes about stopping a stand-alone logger process

If your logger is running as a Windows service, running the fteStopLogger command stops the Windows service.

Syntax

fteStopLogger

Parameters

-p(configuration_options): Optional. Determines the set of configuration options that is used to stop the logger. Use the name of a set of configuration options as the value for the -p parameter. By convention this value is the name of a coordination queue manager. If you do not specify this parameter, the default set of configuration options is used.
-qm(queue_manager_name): Optional. By default, the logger's command queue is assumed to be on the coordination queue manager specified by the -p parameter (or its default). If you want to send logger commands to a command queue located elsewhere, use the -qm parameter to specify an alternative destination. In all cases, this command connects to the command queue manager indicated by the -p parameter, regardless of the message's ultimate destination.
-cq(command_queue_name): Optional. Specifies the command queue to send the stop message to. In most cases, loggers use the default queue name meaning this parameter is not necessary.
-mquserid(userID): Optional. Specifies the user ID to authenticate with the command queue manager.
-mqpassword(password): Optional. Specifies the password to authenticate with the command queue manager. You must also specify the -mquserid parameter. If you specify -mquserid, but do not specify -mqpassword, you will be prompted to supply the associated password. The password will not be displayed.
logger_name: Required. The name of the IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer logger you want to stop.
-? or -h: Optional. Displays command syntax.
