mqsireload command

Use the mqsireload command to request the integration node to stop and restart integration servers.

Supported platforms

  • Windows
  • Linux® and UNIX systems
  • z/OS® - as a console command

Purpose

When you issue this command, a message is sent to the integration node, which stops and restarts all its integration servers. You can specify a single integration server to be reloaded, but if you use the default form of this command to reload all integration servers you ensure state and data integrity is preserved.

Because an integration server does not stop until all message flows within it terminates, the ability of the integration node to reload quickly depends on the processing time for the longest running message flow. This affects the performance of this command, therefore review any long-running message flows before running this command.

If you have included a user-defined node or parser within a message flow on the integration node, these are deleted by this command, and the relevant termination functions called. When message flows are restarted, the resources used by user-defined nodes and parsers are re-accessed and reacquired. However, it is better programming practice to ensure that user-defined nodes and parsers provide their own mechanism to reload persistent state and data dynamically, and do not rely on the use of this command.
