 4. Look under the Grp Name column to determine the group name for the processes
to be shut down. For this example, the PUBSUB group (6 processes will be shut
down). Enter the command to shutdown the group:

> shutdown -g PUBSUB

Messages will be displayed showing the progress.

Shutting down server processes ...

Server Id = 301 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded

Server Id = 300 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded
Server Id = 201 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded
Server Id = 200 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded
Server Id = 101 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded
Server Id = 100 Group Id = PUBSUB Machine = dalsun99: shutdown succeeded
6 processes stopped.

At this point the command line will be available. Either restart the group (see
instructions below) or enter quit at the prompt to return to the psadmin menu.

Booting a Group of Processes

1. Navigate to the PeopleSoft Domain Administration Menu and select option 5. This
will enter the Tuxedo command line mode.

Determine what group will be started. This can be determined based on a group
that was previously shut down or by looking in the psappsrv.ubx file. For this
example, the PUBSUB group that was shut down in the previous example will be
rebooted.

2. Enter the command to boot the group:

> boot g PUBSUB

Messages will be displayed to show the activity of the boot process.

Booting server processes ...

exec PSBRKDSP -s PSBRKDSP_dflt:Dispatch -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D DCCRKR -S

PSBRKDSP_dflt :
 process id=28435 ... Started.
exec PSBRKHND -p 1,600:1,1 -s PSBRKHND_dflt:BrkProcess -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D
DCCRKR -S PSBRKHND_dflt :
process id=28442 ... Started.
exec PSPUBDSP -s PSPUBDSP_dflt:Dispatch -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D DCCRKR -S
PSPUBDSP_dflt :
process id=28449 ... Started.
exec PSPUBHND -p 1,600:1,1 -s PSPUBHND_dflt:PubConProcess -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D
DCCRKR -S PSPUBHND_dflt :
process id=28456 ... Started.
exec PSSUBDSP -s PSSUBDSP_dflt:Dispatch -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D DCCRKR -S
PSSUBDSP_dflt :
process id=28463 ... Started.
exec PSSUBHND -p 1,600:1,1 -s PSSUBHND_dflt:SubConProcess -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D
DCCRKR -S PSSUBHND_dflt :
process id=28470 ... Started.
6 processes started.

At the command prompt, type q to get back to the psadmin menu.

To Shutdown/Boot a Specific Process

Use the same procedures as above but use the i flag and the ID column from the psr
command to determine which process to shutdown/boot. In this example, the PSAPPSRV
process with an ID of 3 will be shutdown.

> shutdown i 3

In the event of an obstinate process, use the following command to force a shutdown. It
states: Try to nicely shutdown the process with the ID of 3, but if it doesnt go away after
10 seconds, kill the process.

> shutdown i 3 w10 -y

If theres a need to manually boot a process, use the following command. For this
example another PSAPPSRV process (ID of 4) is started and added to the pool of 3 that
already exist. If necessary, check the psappsrv.ubx file to verify the ID used is in the
range of Ids available for the group.

> boot i 4

If current service continues to show ICPANEL it means that its (psappsrv) stuck trying to
display information. Start an additional psappsrv process, and try killing the processes
stuck in ICPANEL.
