Pausing and Resuming Job Execution

If, for any reason, you need to shut down the server, you can temporarily pause user activity and disable the running of new jobs for all users in the system, while allowing Fortify Software Security Center to just finish jobs in progress. This helps to ensure that no data are corrupted or lost when the server is shut down.

To pause job execution on the server:

Log in to Fortify Software Security Center as an administrator, and then, on the OpenText header, select Administration.
In the left pane, select Configuration, and then select Maintenance.
On the Maintenance page, select the Pause job execution check box, and then click SAVE.

Immediately after you save the setting:

Important! To prevent the queuing up of a large number of jobs, Fortify recommends that you avoid leaving this setting enabled for long periods of time. After you pause job execution, make sure that you allow time for queued jobs to process completely before you shut down the server.
- All jobs in progress are allowed to complete.
- All new jobs that users subsequently submit are queued for running later, after the Pause jobs execution check box is cleared.
- Fortify Software Security Center displays a banner to notify users that job execution has been paused.
After you next start the server, return to the Maintenance page, clear the Pause job execution check box, and then click SAVE.
