# stopTransitionToDedicatedConfigServer (database command)

## Definition

Stops the in-progress transition from an embedded config server to a dedicated config server.

The shard resumes its role in the sharded cluster and is included in rebalancing operations.

When the command runs, the in-progress transition from an embedded config server to a dedicated config server stops by terminating the draining of chunks from the config shard. The config shard then resumes its normal role in balancing.

The command returns `ok: 1` on success, otherwise it returns `ok: 0` with a related error message.

To start transitioning to a dedicated config server, see the [`startTransitionToDedicatedConfigServer`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/starttransitiontodedicatedconfigserver.md#mongodb-dbcommand-dbcmd.startTransitionToDedicatedConfigServer) command.

To show the status of the transition from an embedded config server to a dedicated config server, see the [`getTransitionToDedicatedConfigServerStatus`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/gettransitiontodedicatedconfigserverstatus.md#mongodb-dbcommand-dbcmd.getTransitionToDedicatedConfigServerStatus) command.

To commit the transition from an embedded config server to a dedicated config server, see the [`commitTransitionToDedicatedConfigServer`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/committransitiontodedicatedconfigserver.md#mongodb-dbcommand-dbcmd.commitTransitionToDedicatedConfigServer) command.
