Activate graceful reboot to help appropriately terminate orphan Job processes of a task run after an engine crash.
An engine crash often leads to uncontrolled termination of task runs, leaving sub-processes
of these task runs in an orphaned state, in which they continue to run indefinitely.
The graceful reboot helps correctly identify and kill these orphaned processes, when the crashed engine is restarted.
Before you begin
- Your Remote Engine version must be v2.12.14 onwards.
About this task
To activate graceful reboot, do the following:
Procedure
-
Stop the engine. See Running the graceful shutdown process of Remote Engine for more
details.
-
In the <RE_installation>/etc/system.properties
configuration file, change the value of
handle.engine.restart from
false to true.
handle.engine.restart = true
-
Restart the engine.
Results
If your engine crashes, when it is restarted, it proceeds to identify the orphaned
execution processes to terminate them and write logs of the related operations in
<RE_installation>/data/log/engine-post-restart-script.log.
