Quiescing Integration Server

You can quiesce Integration Server by starting the server in quiesce mode from the command prompt, by switching a server from active mode to quiesce mode from Integration Server Administrator, or by restarting a server in quiesce mode from Integration Server Administrator.

Additionally, an Integration Server that is a member of a cluster can be configured to enter quiesce mode if any errors prevent the server from joining the cluster at start up. To do this, when configuring a cluster, set the Action on Startup Error to Enter Quiesce Mode on a Stand-Alone Integration Server. For more information about entering quiesce mode automatically when Integration Server cannot connect to the cluster at start up, see the webMethods Integration Server Clustering Guide About Action on Startup Error Options.

Note:
Before you can start an Integration Server in quiesce mode for the first time, you must specify the port through which the server will enter and exit quiesce mode. For more information, see Specifying the Quiesce Port.
