Start and stop connections

This topic describes how to start and stop a connection.

A connection needs to be fully defined before you can start it.

Tip: Micro Focus Connect attempts to run a connection once it is defined. You can see a connection's status on the Micro Focus Connect dashboard.

  • To start an idle connection, click the Modify connection button adjacent to the connection name, and select Start Connection.
  • To stop a running connection, click the Modify connection button adjacent to the connection name, and select Stop Connection.

4.4.2 and higher: If you start multiple connections one after the other, the connections will be queued: The second connection will enter its startup process only after the first connection is running.
