Shutting Down and Restarting the Node
Some administrative tasks might require you to shut down a node. For example, you might need to perform maintenance or benchmarking on a machine. You might also need to shut down and restart a node for some configuration changes to take effect. For example, if you change the shared directory for the Log Manager or domain, you must shut down the node and restart it to update the configuration files.
You can shut down a node from the Administrator tool or from the operating system. When you shut down a node, you stop Informatica services and abort all application service processes and computations running on the node.
To restart a node, start Informatica services on the node.
Warning: To avoid loss of data or metadata when you shut down a node, disable all running application service processes in complete mode.
Shutting Down a Node from the Administrator Tool
When you shut down a node from the Administrator tool, you can view all application service processes running on the node.
1. In the Administrator tool, click the Manage tab > Services and Nodes view.
2. In the Domain Navigator, select a node.
3. In the Navigator Actions menu, select Shutdown Node.
If the node has the service role, the Administrator tool displays the list of application service processes running on that node.
4. Optionally, choose whether the shutdown is planned or unplanned.
5. Optionally, enter comments about the shutdown.
6. Click OK to stop all service processes and shut down the node, or click Cancel to cancel the operation.
Starting or Stopping a Node on Windows
On Windows, use the Control Panel to start and stop the Informatica service.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select Administrative Tools.
3. Right-click Services and select Run as Administrator.
4. Right-click the Informatica service.
5. If the service is running, click Stop.
If the service is stopped, click Start.
Starting or Stopping a Node on UNIX
On UNIX, run infaservice.sh to start and stop the Informatica daemon. By default, infaservice.sh is installed in the following directory:
<InformaticaInstallationDir>/tomcat/bin
1. Go to the directory where infaservice.sh is located.
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command to start the daemon:
infaservice.sh startup
Enter the following command to stop the daemon:
infaservice.sh shutdown
