Quiescing an Active Server from Integration Server Administrator

You can switch an active Integration Server to quiesce mode using the Integration Server Administrator.

To quiesce an active server from Integration Server Administrator

1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.

2. In the upper right corner of any Integration Server Administrator screen, click Enter Quiesce Mode.

Note:
The Enter Quiesce Mode link is available only when Integration Server is in active mode.

3. When you are prompted to confirm that you want the server to switch to quiesce mode, do the following:

a. If services are running and you want them to complete before the server starts disabling packages, specify the number of minutes the server should wait. The default is 0, which means the server will disable packages immediately.

b. Click OK.

4. If you are running Integration Server Administrator from a port other than the quiesce port, stop Integration Server Administrator and start it using the quiesce port.

Integration Server displays a message at the top of all pages in the Integration Server Administrator indicating that the server is running in quiesce mode.

Note:
If the server cannot disable or suspend an asset or activity as it enters quiesce mode, the server displays a warning message and continues the quiesce process. If the condition stated in the warning interferes with a maintenance task you intend to perform, resolve the issue stated in the warning and then restart the server in quiesce mode.
