Disable an application

You can disable applications that are currently enabled, but you no longer want active. When you disable an application, clients can no longer connect to the application. Existing sessions for the application are immediately terminated (unless the -t option is used), and all resources are released including CPUs, session managers, service instance managers, and service instances.

• From the cluster management console:
  1. From the Dashboard, click Common Tasks > Symphony Workload.
  2. Select the application name from the list.
     Note: If the enabled application is not in the list of applications, set the applications filter to show any application.
  3. Select the enabled application.
  4. Click Disable to display the confirmation dialog.
  5. Select whether you want to keep or remove workload.

     Keep workload if you intend to enable the application again. Otherwise, remove workload.

  6. Optional: Allow the system to wait before disabling the application, so that running workload can complete before disabling. To do this, specify a value, in seconds, in the field on this dialog. Ensure that the value is a whole number greater than zero.
  7. Click OK.
• From the command line:
  1. Run the soamcontrol app disable command:

     app disable application_name | all [-f] [-s] -t timeout [-u user_name] [-x password] 

     See soamcontrol for details about the command syntax
