This section provides information about how to stop the servers.
Default Configuration
Win32
Servers are stopped using the Server Shutdown icon in the Informatica’s Products folder or by running the script
%SSABIN%\idsdown
.
UNIX
Server are stopped using the script
$SSABIN/idsdown
. It must be run from a shell that has the Informatica’s environment variables set (by sourcing the
ssaset
script first).
Normal vs Hard Shutdown
Under normal circumstances, a server will shutdown when all active clients disconnect from it. In some cases it may be desirable to request an immediate shutdown, for example, when the stop request has come from a Windows Service just prior to O/S shutdown. In this case,
idsdown
may be called with the hard parameter, which forces an immediate shutdown by closing all active client connections.
Custom Configuration
Use the
ssashut
utility to stop individual servers or close (flush) sessions held by the Connection Server.
For Win32:
%SSABIN%\ssashut Switches
For UNIX:
$SSABIN/ssashut Switches
where
Switches
are
-hHost:Port
Host and Port specify the host name and port number of the server to be shut down.
-f
Flush sessions instead of shutting down the server.
-v
Verbosity.
-z
Hard shutdown. This option forces the server to shutdown immediately by closing active connections. Any active clients will receive socket-related error messages. This option is mutually exclusive with
-f
.
ssashut
may report that a connection could not be established to the nominated server. Some of the possible reasons include:
Wrong host or port number or both was specified, or
Server is not currently running.
