KBI 311148 Issue Addressed: Main Scheduling Engine Fails To Go Down Automatically When The Main Database Is Down
Version
Argent Job Scheduler version 10.0A-1412-A and earlier
Date
Thursday, 8 Jan 2015
Summary
Addressed the issue that the Main Scheduling Engine not going down automatically after detecting the Main Database down
Technical Background
When the Main Database goes down, the Main Scheduling Engine waits for a specified time for it to come back online
When Main Scheduling Engine fails to detect the Main Database up even after the specified time, it should go down automatically
However in prior versions, this does not happen
Even though the Log says the Main Engine service will be shut down in 15 minutes, it keeps waiting indefinitely
As a result, the backup Scheduling Engine fails to take over scheduling with the Backup Database
This issue has been addressed
Hence, in version 10.0A-1501-A and above, when the Main Database goes down, the Main Scheduling Engine service goes down automatically and the Backup Scheduling Engine takes over scheduling with Backup Database as expected
Resolution
Upgrade to Argent Job Scheduler 10.0A-1501-A or above
