Guideline for a monitored computer shutdown and start.
Daily processing means that numerous tasks are executed on your hosts day and night. Running tasks are aborted if a computer shuts down unexpectedly. In order to avoid negative impacts, Automic recommends preparing the agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host for shutdowns and restarts.
The following basic rules apply:
1. |
Ensure that no tasks are active when you shut down the computer. |
2. |
Execute a workflowAn object of the Automation Engine that can include several executable objects and which runs them in a specified order. [Formerly called "ProcessFlow" and "JobPlan."] that processes finishing tasks shortly before you shut down. |
3. |
Tasks should not start immediately after the agent has started. |
4. |
Instead, execute a workflow that processes some preparatory tasks. |
The following objects and configurations are required in order to implement these criteria:
Before shutting down the computer:
After starting the computer:
