About this task

This may be needed to give the business processes that are running adequate time to finish.

For more information about the soft stop process, refer to Completing a Soft Stop of Sterling B2B Integrator from the Command Line.

To override the default soft stop time limit:

Procedure

  1. In the install_dir/properties directory, locate (or create, if necessary) the customer_overrides.properties file.
  2. Open the customer_overrides.properties file using a text editor.
  3. Add the following lines:
    • noapp.shutdown.timeout_for_bps=new_value
    • noapp.shutdown.timeout_for_adapters=new_value
    Note: These lines override the shutdown.timeout_for_bps and shutdown.timeout_for_adapters properties in the noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext.in file.
    In these lines, new_value refers to the new time limit, in seconds, for a soft stop of Sterling B2B Integrator.
    For example, assume that you want to set the soft stop time limit for adapters to 600 seconds (10 minutes). To do so, add the following line to the customer_overrides.properties file:
    noapp.shutdown.timeout_for_adapters=600
  4. Save and close the customer_overrides.properties file.
  5. Stop Sterling B2B Integrator and restart it to use the new values.
