Shutting down Accelerated Event Notification clients

If you need to shut down the ObjectServer, you can remotely shut down the Accelerated Event Notification clients that are currently running. As part of shutting down, you can enter a brief message to users with relevant information.

About this task

To shut down Accelerated Event Notification clients that are listening on one or more channels:

Procedure

From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the System menu button.
Click Channels. The Channels pane opens.
From the Channels pane, select one or more channels that are associated with the shutdown action. You can use the Shift key for consecutive selections or the Ctrl key for non-consecutive selections.
From the toolbar, click Shutdown Clients. The Send Shutdown Command window opens.
Enter a text message in the Reason for Shutdown field. This field scrolls horizontally to allow for the entry of text.
Confirm or cancel your actions as follows:
- Click OK to initiate the shutdown action and then confirm that you want to shut down by clicking Yes.
  Note: If the Reason for Shutdown field is blank, the clients will shut down, but no reason for the action is given in the message box.
- Click Cancel to cancel the shutdown action.

Results

After you confirm the shutdown action, any message that you entered is displayed in a message box on all relevant Accelerated Event Notification client screens. The message text word wraps at 120 characters. After five seconds, an automatic sign-out and exit then occurs.
