Meaning<br />
When a production has been started and is operating normally, it has a status<br />
of Running. This is an acceptable state.<br />
A production acquires a status of Stopped when, at the end of the shutdown<br />
sequence, all of its queues are free of synchronous messages. This is an<br />
acceptable state.<br />
A production acquires the Suspended status if, at the end of the shutdown<br />
sequence, some queues still contain synchronous messages, waiting for a<br />
response. Depending on how the production has been designed, this may or<br />
may not indicate a problem.<br />
You may start a Suspended production. Starting the production again may<br />
permit the waiting messages to be processed. However, if you start the Suspended<br />
production, and more messages arrive while those in front of them in<br />
the queue cannot be resolved, queues may simply continue to fill. In that case<br />
you must investigate to discover why the incoming messages never complete.<br />
A production acquires a status of Troubled if <strong>Ensemble</strong> is stopped but the<br />
production did not shut down properly. This can happen if you restarted<br />
<strong>Ensemble</strong> or rebooted the machine without first stopping the production.<br />
When a production acquires a Troubled status, a Recover command appears<br />
on the <strong>Ensemble</strong> Management Portal home page (the [<strong>Ensemble</strong>] page). Click<br />
this command to clean up the troubled instance of the production so that you<br />
can run a new instance when you are ready.<br />
To the right of each entry in the <strong>Productions</strong> table are four of the following five commands:<br />
• Click Configure to display the configuration diagram. This is a graphical inventory of the business hosts in the production,<br />
organized into three columns: business services, business processes, and business operations. Each item in the diagram<br />
displays runtime status indicators. You can select individual elements to monitor and edit the details of performance<br />
and configuration. For details about this diagram, see the “Configuration” chapter.<br />
• Click Start to Start the production; offered if the production is stopped.<br />
• Click Stop to Stop the production; offered if the production is running.<br />
• Click <strong>Documentation</strong> to view or generate configuration documentation for this production in HTML format.<br />
4.2 Starting a Production<br />
You can start an <strong>Ensemble</strong> production from various pages in the <strong>Ensemble</strong> Management Portal, including the <strong>Productions</strong><br />
page. To do so:<br />
