Completing a Soft Stop of Sterling B2B Integrator from the Command Line

Use the softstop command to stop Sterling B2B Integrator gracefully. Unfinished jobs will be distributed to other nodes or saved to the database to automatically resume after startup.

1. In the installation directory of Sterling B2B Integrator, navigate to the bin subdirectory.
2. Run the softstop.sh (UNIX) or softstop.cmd (Windows) command with the following options:
   Note: The default values for many of these options are stored in the shutdown.* properties of the noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext.in property file.
   • node_name

     The cluster node name, like node1 or node2.

   • all

     Shuts down the whole cluster.

   • allLocalNodes
     Shuts down all of the local nodes of an application instance, including container nodes.

     Note: If you shut down all of the nodes and the ActiveMQ process is still running, you need to run hardstop.sh to kill it. This applies to shutting down the whole cluster.
   • [-tq timeout_for_queues]

     Timeout value in seconds for all business processes on the queue to finish.

   • [-ta timeout_for_adapters]
     Timeout value for stopping all adapters.

     Note: You can also shut down adapters using the graceful adapter shutdown tool. For more information, see Graceful Adapter Shutdown.
   • [-dp bp_drain_policy]
     • 1 - Distribute all business processes on the queue to other nodes or save them to the database.
     • 2 - Distribute all not-started business processes on the queue to other nodes or save them to the database.
     • 3 - Let all the business processes on the queue be processed until a timeout for the shutdown.
     • 4 - Distribute all business processes on the queue, that have not started and have no open sessions against adapters, to other nodes or save them to the database.
   • [-cp bp_completion_policy]

     If bp_completion_policy is 1 or 2, then bp_drain_policy is set to 1.

     • 1 - Complete the current business process step.
     • 2 - Complete the current business process execution cycle.
     • 3 - Complete the current business process.
