Shutting Down a Domain

To run administrative tasks on a domain, you might need to shut down the domain. For example, to back up and restore a domain configuration, you must first shut down the domain.
When you shut down a domain, the Service Manager on the master gateway node stops all application services and Informatica services in the domain. Any service processes running on nodes in the domain are aborted. To avoid possible loss of data or metadata and allow running processes to complete, you can shut down each node from the Administrator tool or from the operating system.
Before you shut down a domain, verify that all processes, including workflows, have completed and no users are logged in to repositories in the domain.
    1. Click the Manage tab.
    2. Click the Services and Nodes view.
    3. In the Navigator, select the domain.
    4. Click Manage tab Actions > Shut Down Domain .
    The Shut Down Domain dialog box lists the processes that are running in the domain.
    5. Click Shut down.
    The Shutdown Down Domain dialog box displays a warning message.
    6. Click Shut down.
    The Service Manager on the master gateway node shuts down the application services and Informatica services on each node in the domain.
    7. To restart the domain, restart Informatica services on the gateway and worker nodes in the domain.
