Stopping the Responder

When you select the Stop Responder option, you can stop all three MFT Platform Server Responder programs.

Prerequisites

You must have a high security level to stop all three MFT Platform Server Responder programs. MFT Platform Server Responder program server job names are:
  • CFRESP secure non-TLS server
  • CFRESPTLS secure TLS server
  • CFRESPTUN secure TLS Tunnel server

Procedure

  1. Enter the command GO CFADM on the command line.
  2. In the Administration Main Menu that opens, enter 7 on the command line.
  3. In the Responder Menu that opens, enter 2 on the command line.
    Tip: Alternatively, enter the command CFSTOPRSP on the command line.
    From the Stop Responder command,
    • To stop only the secure non-TLS responder, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *NO.
    • To stop only the secure TLS responder, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *YES and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *TLS.
    • To stop only the secure TLS tunnel responder, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *YES and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *TUNNEL.
    • To stop both the secure TLS and secure TLS tunnel responders, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *YES and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *BOTH.
    • To stop both secure non-TLS and secure TLS responders, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *BOTH and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *TLS.
    • To stop both secure non-TLS and secure TLS tunnel responders, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *BOTH and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *TUNNEL.
    • To stop all three secure non-TLS and secure TLS and secure TLS tunnel responders, set the Stop TLS Responder parameter to *BOTH and set the TLS Protocol Type parameter to *BOTH.

    The default secure non-TLS port is 46464. The default secure TLS port is 56565. The default secure TLS Tunnel port is 58585.

    When the MFT Platform Server Responder programs are stopped, the Responder programs stop processing in the subsystem called QSYSWRK. The job names are CFRESP secure non-TLS server, CFRESPTLS secure TLS server, and CFRESPTUN secure TLS tunnel server.

  4. Enter values in the parameter fields as required. For parameter descriptions, see the Stop Responder Parameters section.
