Purpose
The STOP NP command is used to end communication with the database using the network connection established by a START NP command that specified the same npname. Communication using other NPs and CPs are unaffected. The TDP SHUTDOWN command may be used to terminate TDP, ending all communication with the database. Information about the NP can be obtained using the DISPLAY NP command.
Syntax
- npname
- The name of an existing network connection as established by a START NP command.
Usage Notes
The STOP command can only be used when the NP is in the STARTED state. An NP’s state may be seen using the DISPLAY NP command.
Once the STOP command is used, no more requests are sent using this NP and the command completes after a response is received for each request sent on the NP. Other requests for sessions are processed as long as other started NPs or CPs remain.
Example: STOP NP
STOP NP2
