Starting the Server in Quiesce Mode from the Command Prompt
You can start the server in quiesce mode by setting the -quiesce switch in custom_wrapper.conf. For information about other startup command switches, see Starting and Stopping the Server.
Note:  
If Integration Server is installed as a Windows service, you cannot start the server in quiesce mode. This is because the command-line parameters were set when the server was registered as a Windows service. In this case, you must first start the server in active mode, and then restart the server in quiesce mode, from Integration Server Administrator.
To start the server in quiesce mode from the command prompt
1. In a text editor, open the custom_wrapper.conf file from the following directory:
Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\configuration
where instance_name is the name of the Integration Server instance.
2. Add the following property to custom_wrapper.conf:
wrapper.app.parameter.n=-quiesce
where n is the next unused sequential number for wrapper.app.parameter.n properties in the file.
3. In the custom_wrapper.conf, update the wrapper.app.parameter.2 property to reflect the total number of wrapper.app.parameter properties that you added in the previous steps.
For example, if wrapper.app.parameter.2 is set to 4 (the default) and you add one wrapper.app.parameter property, you would increase the value of wrapper.app.parameter.2 by one. After making your edits, the wrapper.app.parameter.2 would appear as follows:
wrapper.app.parameter.2=5
For more information about the wrapper.app.parameter property, see Software AG Infrastructure Administrator's Guide.
4. At a command prompt, type the following command to switch to the server’s home directory:
cd Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_ instance_name\bin
Note:  
The startup.bat/sh and shutdown.bat/sh scripts contained in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\bin directory are deprecated. Software AG recommends the use of the scripts contained in the Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\bin directory. If you will manage Integration Server through Command Central, you must use the scripts located in the Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\bin directory.
5. Type the following command to start the server:
For Windows:
startup.bat
For UNIX:
startup.sh
When you open the Integration Server Administrator, a message displays to indicate 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.
