Stopping collection of message flow accounting and statistics data

You can stop collecting data for message flow accounting and statistics by using the web user interface or the mqsichangeflowstats command.

Before you begin

Read the concept topic Message flow statistics and accounting data
Start collection of message flow accounting and statistics data; see Starting collection of message flow statistics and accounting data

About this task

You can modify the parameters that are currently in force for collecting message flow accounting and statistics data without stopping data collection. See Modifying message flow accounting and statistics data collection parameters for further details.

You can stop collecting accounting and statistics data for one or more active message flows by using one of the following methods:

Stopping collection of message flow statistics by using the web user interface

Procedure

Start the web user interface for your integration node; see Accessing the web user interface.
The navigator is displayed on the left side of the pane, showing the servers (integration servers), message flows, and other resources that are owned by your integration node.
In the navigator, find the resource for which you want to stop collecting message flow statistics.
You can stop collecting statistics data for all message flows in an integration server or application, or for an individual message flow.
Click the down arrow next to the resource to display the menu, and then click Statistics off.

Results

Statistics collection is stopped for the selected message flows.

Stopping collection of message flow statistics by using the mqsichangeflowstats command

Procedure

Check the resources for which you want to stop collecting data.

You do not have to stop all active data collection. You can stop a subset of data collection. For example, if you are collecting statistics for all message flows in a particular integration server, you can stop statistics collection for a specific message flow in that integration server. Data collection for all other message flows in that integration server continues.
Issue the mqsichangeflowstats command with the appropriate parameters to stop collecting data for some or all resources.
For example, to stop statistics collection for all message flows in all integration servers for the integration node IBNODE, enter:
```
mqsichangeflowstats IBNODE -s -g -j -c inactive  
```
Using SDSF on z/OS®, enter:
```
/F IBNODE,cs s=yes g=yes j=yes c=inactive 
```
Refer to the mqsichangeflowstats command for further examples.

Results

When the command completes successfully, data collection for the specified resources is stopped. Any outstanding data that was collected is written to the output destination when you use this command, to ensure the integrity of data collection.
