Suspending a scheduled service

Suspending a model ensures that none of its services run. Suspending a model service ensures that none of its versions run. You can suspend at the model, model service, or model service version level. Use the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console to suspend a scheduled service.

About this task

"Suspend" cascades from the model down to the model services and down to the services for each model version. For example, if scheduled services for a model are suspended, the children model services and their children at the model-version level are suspended as well, and display a status of Model Suspended which means the parent or grandparent is suspended. If an individual model service is suspended, the children at the service's model-version level is also suspended and displays a status of Service Suspended which means the parent is suspended.

It does not matter in which order services are suspended or resumed. If the child's state is not explicitly altered when the parent is suspended, the child automatically reverts back to its previous state when the parent is resumed. This flexibility allows you to easily suspend all of a model's scheduled services, just a single service, or just a service for a single model version. When you resume, your previous configuration is maintained.

To suspend a scheduled service, complete the following steps:
