Stop a stub by using the command line

You can stop all instances of a stub by using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) command line. This option is useful in situations where Ant is not available.

The syntax to use is as follows:
IntegrationTesterCmd Options stop-stub
Here is an example syntax of synchronous mode, where there is only one stub in the environment, and it only has one version:
IntegrationTesterCmd --serverUrl "https://Hostname or IP address:5443/RTCP"
 --domain <Domain name> --environment <Environment name>
 --name <Stub name> stop-stub
Here is an example syntax of asynchronous mode, where component and operation are used to precisely identify a stub, a specific version is specified, and the user has locked the environment:
IntegrationTesterCmd --serverUrl "https://Hostname or IP address:5443/RTCP/" 
--domain <Domain name> --environment <Environment name> 
--component <Component name> --operation <Operation name> 
--name <Stub name> --version <Stub version number> 
--username <User name> --async stop-stub

Managed stubs

Starting from version 10.0.0 or later, you can use the following command to stop a managed stub instance:
IntegrationTesterCmd Options switch-off-stub

For more information about managed stubs, see Server-based stubs.

List of available options lists the options that you can use with the IntegrationTesterCmd command for stopping a stub and List of available options lists the options available for stopping a managed stub.

Table 1. List of available options
Option Description
--serverUrl/-u URL of the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel).
--domain/-d Domain name

Note: If you are using Test Integrations and APIs 9.1.1.1 or later, and the Test Virtualization Control Panel command line or Apache Ant tasks are used to stop a stub, and if no stub version information is provided, it is the latest version of a stub with running instances that is stopped. If you are 9.1.1 or earlier, and the Test Virtualization Control Panel command line or Apache Ant tasks are used to stop a stub that has multiple versions, and if no stub version information is provided, an error is reported.
--async/-a Run asynchronously; defaults to synchronous (flag).
--username/-l Specify the user name to authenticate with the server if the environment is locked and the domain security is disabled.
--securityToken

Specify the security token generated for you to authenticate with Test Virtualization Control Panel when the domain security is enabled. In the locked environment mode, the operation can be performed by the user who locked the environment.

Table 2. List of available options for stopping a managed stub
