pwxcmd shutdown Command

Stops the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows in a controlled manner after closing open PowerExchange Logger log files and writing the latest restart position to the CDCT file.

During shutdown processing, the PowerExchange Logger completes these actions:

Closes open log files.

Writes updated log and restart information to the CDCT file.

Closes the CAPI.

Stops the Writer and Command Handler subtasks.

Ends the pwxccl program.

Reports CPU usage.

Use this command to stop a PowerExchange Logger process that is running in continuous mode. Informatica recommends that you use the pwxcmd program to issue the shutdown command instead of entering the command at a command prompt. With pwxcmd, you can send the command to a PowerExchange Logger process that is running in background or foreground mode on the same system or on a different system.

If you run the PowerExchange Logger in batch mode, you do not usually need this command. The PowerExchange Logger process shuts down after the wait period that you specify in the NO_DATA_WAIT2 parameter of the pwxccl.cfg file elapses.

Use the following syntax:

pwxcmd shutdown {-service|-sv} service_name 
                [{-user|-uid|-u} user_ID] 
                [{{-password|-pwd|-p} password|{-epassword|-e} encrypted_password}]

The following table describes pwxcmd shutdown options and arguments:

Option	Argument	Description
-service -sv	service_name	Required. Service name for the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows process.
-user -uid -u	user_ID	Required if you enable security. A valid operating system user ID on the system that is the target of the command. For a PowerExchange Logger on a supported Linux, UNIX, or Windows system, if you have enabled PowerExchange LDAP user authentication, the user name is the enterprise user name. For more information, see the PowerExchange Reference Manual .
-password -pwd -p	password	Plain text password. If you specify a user ID, you must also specify a plain text password or an encrypted password.
-epassword -e	encrypted_password	Encrypted password. If you specify a user ID, you must also specify a plain text password or an encrypted password.
