Configuring a Delay for Graceful Shutdown

When you select a graceful shutdown, the Solution Control Server (SCS) sends a suspend message to GMS, so that GMS sets itself to OFFLINE. Load Balancer will no longer send requests to this GMS. After a configurable delay, SCS sends a STOP signal, and the GMS will stop. To configure this delay:

Start

1. In Configuration Manager, select the GMS Application.
2. On the Annex tab, sml section, set the suspending-wait-timeout to the desired value:
   • Default Value: 10
   • Valid Values: 5-600

For additional information about this option, see suspending-wait-timeout in the Common Configuration Options Reference.

End

Creating GMS Related Alarms

The following alarms can be raised by Genesys Mobile Services based on system status/configuration:

• Resources Configuration Alarm (EventId 2000): This alarm is raised by GMS when the server detects a problem on resources configuration (Duplicated DN on same/different Groups)
• No more resources Alarm (EventId 2001): This alarm is raised by GMS when no more resources are available in GMS (LOCAL or CLUSTER strategy).
• web_port option Alarm (EventId 2002): This alarm is raised by GMS when the web_port option is not equal to the jetty HTTP port.

To create Alarms, refer to Creating the SCS Alarm Conditions.
