Using Production Shutdown Groups
Production shutdown groups allow you to control the order in which productions are stopped when you shut down an instance. By default, all productions are shut down in parallel when you stop an instance. When productions are organized into production shutdown groups, InterSystems shuts down the first group of productions before starting to shut down productions in the next group. Each group name must be an integer, and InterSystems starts shutting down the lowest group number first. By default, all productions belong to group 2.
To add a production to a production shutdown group:
-
Select the production’s namespace and then go to Interoperability > Manage > Configuration > Production Shutdown Groups.
-
Select the production from the drop-down list.
-
Enter the group’s number in Relative Shutdown Group.
-
Select Apply.
The table at the bottom of the page displays the productions that are currently active in each namespace, along with their group number. You can assign a production to a group at any time, but it does not appear in the bottom table unless it is the active production, which means it is running or is the most recently stopped production in the namespace.
Note:
Using production shutdown groups can result in it taking longer for the instance to stop, which has implications for time-sensitive failovers.
