Stopping managed processes

You can stop a managed process that is running by deleting the record in the services.inTray table.

About this task

If you stop a managed process in any other way than deleting its entry in the services.inTray table, ncp_ctrl restarts it. If you delete a record from the services.inTray table, the process is restarted only when the ncp_ctrl process is restarted.

To stop a managed process:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the ncp_ctrl process is running.
  2. Log into the process control databases.
  3. Issue a command similar to the following: 
    delete from services.inTray
where serviceName = 'ncp_model' ;
go
    Note: Stopping the ncp_disco process in this way does not stop the discovery immediately if it is busy. Stopping the ncp_disco process forcibly can corrupt the discovery.
