Need alternate means of shutting down Communication Channels

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a hung Java stack on a test system and cannot bring up the

Communication Channels screen to stop our Communication Channels. We

need a way to accomplish this. We can access some screens, such as

message monitoring, the management console, etc... but not Communication

Channels. We have noticed, that if we follow the SAP recommended

shutdown procedures and stop the Comm Channels first, then the system

restarts much quicker and there is less chance of data corruption.

Please advise.

Santosh:

Thanks for the information, I was not aware they could be operated via a URL. I will definitely attempt to implement this ASAP.

Thank you.

Gopal:

This is very helpful too. I have used wget in the past for scripts for pagers and such, I will also look to implement some sort of ksh/perl script to attempt to stop/start/status of the channels.

Thank you.

Mark,

Your information was helpful as well, however it appears to me to be an all or nothing solution. My issue was caused in our PROD environment, and itu2019s in a HA cluster, so I want the channels to come up as a result of failover, etcu2026

Thanks,

To All,

We do have remote command center software that sends jobs to the PI system to stop and start certain channels, but our Java stack went haywire and we could not get access to the comm channel area to stop the data flow. We could have dropped the virtual IP, or cutoff the firewall, but I was looking for something more granular or specific. I am not sure if the URL method would work if the Java stack is hung, but I am going to work towards testing and implementing it just in case.

Thanks.

Mike

Hello

Check the note #1395622 Change the startup mode for PI 7.1 JDBC & File JEE services. This describes how you can change the startup mode of the Communication Channels e.g. to manual. This means that the channels will not be automatically started when you start the java engine.

Yes, the given link is one way to control the communication channels

http(s)://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=party&service=service&channel=channel&action=action

If you are in the unix system create script and use this command as follows

wget command followed by the above url.
