Sometimes you would like to
restart your livelink services for adding patches, upgrading modules or just like that.
The best practice to do a restart is listed below.
- First we Log-in to server where the web server is installed (In this case : IIS)
- We take Livelink server out of load balanced pool by changing the HTTP port (Lets put a no. like 9191 which is not used)
- We then
check if there are any requests pending with the Livelink server we want to
restart.
So let check the thread status - http://IPAddress:port/cgi/livelink.exe?func=admin.threadstatus.
If there is something running, we wait till those processes are over and then proceed further - Apply the patch or do the module upgrade that you want and restart the server.
- Now we put the Livelink server back into load balancer by changing the port back to original. (i.e. 80).
- Repeat the above for all servers.
