Shutting Down, Restarting, or Deleting a Station

You can shut down, restart, or delete a station from the Dashboard, using the right-click (context) menu.

Before you begin: You must have the fiperadmin security role to perform these operations.

  1. Open the Dashboard dialog box as described in Starting the Dashboard.

  2. Right-click the SIMULIA Execution Engine station name in the list near the top of the Stations tab. The following commands are available:

    • Shutdown selected station(s). This option shuts down the selected stations.

    • Shutdown all stations. This option shuts down all of the listed stations that are not already in the shutdown state.

    • Restart selected station(s). This option allows you to stop and restart selected stations. For more information on using this option, including its limitations, see Restarting a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Remotely.

    • Restart all stations. This option allows you to stop and restart all stations that can use this option. For more information on using this option, including its limitations, see Restarting a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Remotely.

    • Delete selected station(s). This option allows you to delete inactive (shutdown) stations that you no longer want included in the station list.

    Use these commands with care as shutting down a station that is actively running workitems can result in lost work.

    Important: The restart options cannot be used to simply restart stopped stations from the Dashboard. These options essentially execute a remote station reboot—i.e., stopping a running station and then restarting it remotely.
