Shutdown planning and modes

Plan shutdowns of IBM® Cloud Pak for Network Automation only during maintenance windows. Learn about the shutdown modes that you can use.

Planning shutdowns

Shut down IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation only during a maintenance window. Make sure that no IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation processes are running. That is, make sure that no intents, creating or updating of assemblies, or any other processes that are triggered by the IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation UI or APIs are running.

If you shut down while processes are running, unexpected errors and invalid statuses might be reported.

To find out whether processes are running or are scheduled to run, use the GET operations in the Processes API. For example, you can find out which processes are planned to run, are pending, are running, or are being canceled by using this GET command:

GET /api/v1/processes?processStatuses=planned,pending,In Progress,Cancelling

For more information, see Processes API.
