Configuring a Delay for Graceful Shutdown

When you select a graceful shutdown, the Solution Control Server (SCS) sends a suspend message to GMS, so that GMS sets itself to OFFLINE. Load Balancer will no longer send requests to this GMS. After a configurable delay, SCS sends a STOP signal, and the GMS will stop. To configure this delay:

Start

1. In Configuration Manager, select the GMS Application.
2. On the Annex tab, sml section, set the suspending-wait-timeout to the desired value:
   • Default Value: 10
   • Valid Values: 5-600

For additional information about this option, see suspending-wait-timeout in the Common Configuration Options Reference.
