Considerations—STOP SERVICE
REASON text
is a nonempty SQL string literal of up to 70 characters, which indicates why the
service is being shut down. It is written to the EMS log by the service if the
command is accepted. Strings of more than 70 characters are truncated with a
warning. Single quotes are required.
Considerations—STOP SERVICE

STOP SERVICE is a sensitive command.

The asterisk (*) wild card is not supported.

Service goes to the stopped state only when all active DSs and servers have also
transitioned to the stopped state.

New clients cannot connect to a server associated with a stopping or stopped
service.

The administrator can check progress by using the INFO command.

The association server and the configuration server are not terminated, but they
recognize only administrative commands.

If the service is already in the stopped or stopping state, STOP SERVICE is
successful but has no effect.
Example—STOP SERVICE
This example stops the service $AS:
CS>stop service $AS, after now, reason 'text';
-- STOP SERVICE \ODBC.$AS Successful
