[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to Schedule Stop all PI communication channels at perticular time and start back at pertuclar date and time?

or is it only a munual way? stop all sender communication channels? if so, how do i keep track of the channels proprties details? like automatic control, external control off etc?

Thanks.

Thanks all. I stopped and restarted it manually. that seems better and easy.

I think SAP should consider this and give readymade solution. this is valid condition when there are downtime of source OR target systems.

Hi Prema,

You may try the below steps to start and start the channels automatically.

1> Open page http://<<hostname>>:<<portnumber>>/mdt/channelmonitorservlet

2> click on "Availability Time Planning" on right top of your page.

3> click on create. Fill up the requied details. Please note the below example is for the channel for which I want to be up only from Monday to Saturday and for only one hour on these days from 11AM to 12PM.

Go to "communication channels" tab enter the channel name as below and it will select the channels for which you want this schedule to work.

Activate this and in communication channel make sure that these channels are in "automatic control". You may do further trial on this and it should serve your purpose if your system has fixed start downtime and fixed start up time.

Hi Prema,

Also you can use a webservice to deal with this issue like Santhosh Vellingiri explains in his blog

Later you can use SOAPui or to do a little java application, for technical usage,  to consume this WS.

Create a schedule with the timing of when you want to stop them and all the channels(sender) to it.

Turn on automatic control for all your channels then all your channels would be stopped and started based on that schedule.

AFAIK - You can define multiple schedule for a channel.

Doesn't it work for you?

Thanks Hareesh,

where do I create schedule? availability time planning? if so then, i do not have opton of stopping channels there.

[former_member184720]

Sorry. I think i overlooked. I don't see a direct way of creating a schedule to stop the channels.

It might be possible if we create 3 different daily schedules.

1) 23hrs

2)59min

3)59 seconds

Not a good idea

But you might want to look at control external option.

When you schedule in "availability planning" set the communication channels to "automatic" and set the time according to your needs.
