Stopping the Configuration Manager server

You can use the Configuration Manager client to connect to and shut down the Configuration Manager server.

Procedure

Shut down the Configuration Manager server by using the following method:
1. Log in as the non-root user.
2. Open a command shell.
3. Navigate to the WC_installdir/bin directory.
4. Run the config_client.sh utility with the -shutdownServerOnly command line option.
  For example:
```
config_client.sh [-protocol SSL] -shutdownServerOnly
```
  where [-protocol SSL] is an optional parameter to be used only if the server was started with the SSL protocol
Shut down the Configuration Manager server by using the following method:
1. Log in as a user in the Administrators group.
2. Open a command prompt.
3. Navigate to the WC_installdir\bin directory.
4. Run the config_client.bat utility with the -shutdownServerOnly command line option.
  For example:
```
config_client.bat [-protocol SSL] -shutdownServerOnly
```
  where [-protocol SSL] is an optional parameter to be used only if the server was started with the SSL protocol.
Shut down the Configuration Manager server using the following method:
1. Using a command prompt on the system on which the Configuration Manager client is installed, change to the Configuration Manager directory.
2. Run the configClient.bat utility with the -shutdownServerOnly command line option.
  For example:
```
configClient.bat -hostname IBM_i_host_name [-port server_port_number] [-protocol SSL] -shutdownServerOnly
```
  where:
  - [-protocol SSL] is an optional parameter to be used only if the server was started with the SSL protocol.
  - IBM_i_host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server. Ensure the host name is entered in the same letter case as specified in the CHGTCODMN command.
  - server_port_number is the port number on the IBM i server on which the Configuration Manager is listening. You need to specify this value only if the server is listening on a non-default port. The port parameter is optional, but if it was specified in the config_server.sh command, it needs to be specified here.
