Summary: Restarting, shutting down and refreshing containers; viewing a runtime configuration report.
Note: The Start, Stop, Restart/Refresh, Shutdown API operations considered as deprecated since 6.x and will be removed in future releases. These operations are relevant only for a single space which is not running within a ServiceGrid Container. An attempt to shutdown a space which runs within a GSC will cause a new re deployment of another space instance.

Container Operations

There are two ways to perform maintenance operations on a container:

  • Selecting a container node () in the Grid Tree, then clicking the relevant button on the top toolbar.
  • Right-clicking a container node () in the Grid Tree, then selecting the relevant operation from the context menu.
Operation Description Toolbar Button Context Menu Command
Restart Container Stops and restarts the container and all the spaces in it. Restart
Shutdown Container Stops the container and all the spaces in it and un-registers all the associated proxies from the lookup servers. Shutdown
Refresh Container Looks for all registered proxies and re-displays them. Refresh
