Start/Stop Publishing (tlbct5210m000)

Use this session to start or stop event publishing services for a range of subscriptions. These event publishing services are also referred to as publishers.

Note: Usually, LN starts a separate bshell, without a user interface, for each company in which publishers are running. In that bshell, a separate process runs for each destination. Therefore, if you want to stop a complete process (for example, to change the trace settings), ensure that the specified range covers all publishers for the company and destination. And if you want to stop a complete publisher bshell, make sure that the specified range covers all publishers for the company.

You start this session from Specific menu of the Event Subscriptions (tlbct5500m000) session.

Buttons

If you use the Start command for running services, the status of these services remains unchanged. So, nothing happens.

With the Stop command, you can stop running services. This applies to all services with status Running. When you stop a service, it obtains the Paused status.
