Suppression of MQ Listener in SYSVIEW

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to suppress a specific MQ Listener so SYSVIEW does not try to connect to it?

The only option I see is to exclude the specific listener in the CNM4BPRM (MQSDATA).

Resolution

If you only need to stop a listener temporarily and don't want to reconfigure SYSVIEW, you can use a native IBM MQ command. You can do this by entering the command through the SYSVIEW MQ command interface, or directly using an MQSC command. 

• Access the MQ command interface. Use the SYSVIEW command MQCMDS to access the IBM MQ command interface.
• Issue the STOP LISTENER command. At the command prompt, issue the MQSC command to stop the specific listener.

STOP LISTENER(listenername)

• Restart the listener when needed. Once your maintenance is complete, you can restart the listener using the corresponding START LISTENER command.
