Stopping a queue manager manually on Windows

If you are unable to stop a queue manager on Windows by using the endmqm command, you can try to stop the queue manager manually by ending any processes that are running and stopping the IBM® MQ service.

About this task

Tip: The Windows Task Manager and the tasklist command give limited information about tasks. For more information to help to determine which processes relate to a particular queue manager, consider using a tool such as Process Explorer (procexp.exe), which is available for download from the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com.

To stop a queue manager on Windows, complete the following steps.

Procedure

List the names (IDs) of the processes that are running, by using the Windows Task Manager.

End the processes by using Windows Task Manager, or the taskkill command, in the following order (if they are running):
