Procedure
Results
When you have configured an integration node to start and
stop as a WebSphere MQ service:
- The integration node starts and stops automatically when its associated queue manager starts and stops. For a multi-instance integration node, this action can occur during failover of the active queue manager.
- A multi-instance integration node cannot be started in standby mode when its WebSphere MQ service is defined as active.
- You can stop the integration node manually by using the mqsistop command, but the integration node does not restart until the queue manager is stopped and started again.
- On UNIX systems the integration node environment is inherited from WebSphere MQ. Set any required environment variables (such as ODBCINI) by using a script in the work_path/common/profiles directory. See Setting up a command environment for more information.
