1.4.2 Ensemble Table
The home page Ensemble table displays the following data fields:
• Ensemble Running (or other status values) — This field describes the Ensemble execution engine. The value Running
appears if any Ensemble production is running. Otherwise, the field may display the values Stopped, Suspended, or
Troubled. For details about these values, see the Production List section in the “Productions” chapter.
• Production — The name of the running production, or name of the last production run. If you click Start Production,
Stop Production, Update Production, or Recover on the home page, this is the production that you are starting, stopping,
updating, or recovering.
The home page Production field provides links to other portal pages as follows:
– If you click the production name, the display changes to the configuration diagram for that production, where you
can configure the operational settings for a production in the active namespace. See the “Configuration” chapter
for details.
– If you click more... to the right of the production name, the [Ensemble] > [Productions] page displays where you
can select a different production to start.
• Start Time — The start time of the currently running production. The Start Time field is never reset while the production
is running, even if you click Reset Counter to reset other fields. If there is no production running, the Start Time field
is blank.
The home page Ensemble table also provides the following commands:
• Start Production — Start Production displays only if no production is currently running. Click Start Production to start
the production listed in the home page Production field.
• Stop Production — displays only if a production is currently running. Click Stop Production to stop the production
listed in the home page Production field.
• Update Production — Under some conditions, when you start the portal there is a discrepancy between the production
as defined in the code, and the status of the running production. Examples would be if:
– A specific business host experienced an error and has died (the most likely cause)
– The user changed a configuration parameter for a business host in a running production, such that the host now
needs to be restarted.
– A production typically opens a Terminal window, but this window was closed by a user action while the production
was still running.
