6.4.5 Stopping Servers
Active servers may be stopped using the controller. You must provide a valid control
password for the server.
Only those servers where the control password matches the control session control
password will be stopped.
Note:
Stopping a server will forcibly terminate all database connections on that server and does
not wait for client transaction completion. Consider using the Close Server command first,
to stop further client connections and then use the Stop Server command later when no
clients are bound. See Closing Servers
for more details.
You may use Show Server or Show Clients command to see if any clients are currently
using the server. See Showing Servers
for more details.
