Pausing and resuming job execution

If, for any reason, you need to shut down the server, you can temporarily pause user activity and stop the running of new jobs for all users in the system, while allowing Application Security to just finish jobs in progress. This helps to ensure that no data are corrupted or lost when the server is shut down.

To pause job execution on the server:

Sign in to Application Security as an Administrator.
On the header, select Administration.
On the navigation pane, expand Configuration, and then select Maintenance.
On the Maintenance page, select the Pause job execution check box, and then click SAVE.
Immediately after you save the setting:
To prevent the queuing of many jobs, OpenText recommends that you avoid leaving this setting enabled for long periods of time. After you pause job execution, ensure that you allow time for queued jobs to process completely before you shut down the server.
- All jobs in progress are allowed to complete.
- All new jobs that users subsequently submit are queued for running later, after the Pause jobs execution check box is cleared.
- Application Security displays a banner to notify users that job execution has been paused.
The next time you start the server, return to the Maintenance page, clear the Pause job execution check box, and then click SAVE.
