Can I Stop or Activate a Server that still has Connected Clients?
If you try stopping or activating a Master or Assistant server with connected clients
and/or executing tasks, you will be asked to close all the Automation Engine applications.
If you fail to do so, the open applications will be interrupted and the server will be
automatically stopped or activated within five minutes.
Note: Stopping or Activating the
server makes it impossible to login via a new client or start a new task on this
Automation Engine server.
Note: In Master-Assistant setups, you can restart an
Assistant server and continue working on the Master and/or other Assistants. Only the
running tasks on that restarting Assistant server will be stopped.
Can I Cancel the Stop and Activate Processes?
You can cancel the Stop or Activate process
by clicking on Cancel . You will be able to login again from a client
and start new tasks.
You can also Force Stop or Force Activate
while waiting for the open applications to close. The server will then break the connection
with clients and will cancel all the executing tasks.
