Code Block
usage: disconnect [ -ecsa ] [ -ec ] [ -local ] [ -q ] [ -verbose] <running server process>

By using this command, it possible to let an EC /ECSA and its workflows run in disconnected mode during Platform upgrade, in order to avoid downtime.

Note
titleNote!

Since a batch workflow cannot run without contact with the Platform, this command should only be executed on ECs /ECSAs running real-time workflows. If an EC /ECSA running a batch workflow is disconnected, the workflow will abort.

After disconnect, the EC /ECSA will continue executing real-time workflows without interference from the Platform and there will be no risk that new software is downloaded to the EC /ECSA during the Platform upgrade.

After the upgrade has been performed, each EC /ECSA has to be restarted in order to re-connect to the Platform, refer to restart for more information.

The command accepts the following options:

OptionDescription

[-ecsa]

Use this option to disconnect only ECSAs, for example:

MZ>> disconnect

-

ecsa

If using this option without any ECSA process specified, as in the example, all ECSAs will be disconnected.

If a non-ECSA process is specified, fault code 4 will be returned, for example:

MZ>> disconnect -ecsa ec1

[-ec]

Use this option to disconnect only ECs, for example:

MZ>> disconnect -ec

If using this option without any EC process specified, as in the example, all ECs will be disconnected.

If a non-EC process is specified, fault code 4 will be returned, for example:

MZ>> disconnect -ec ecsa1sc1

[-local]

Use this option to disconnect an EC /ECSA that is running on a local machine, for example:

MZ>> disconnect -local ec1

In the example, the local EC process named ec1 will be disconnected. If using this option without any EC /ECSA process specified, all local ECs /ECSAs will be disconnected.

[-q]

Quiet mode. Use this option to eliminate the display of any report during execution.

[-verbose]Verbose mode. This option will print extended error information.

By running the disconnect command from the Platform without any options, all running ECs/ECSAs, on all connected machines, will be disconnected without the need to login to each machine and disconnect them one by one:

...

Tip
titleHint!

To get the latest status information for all local EC/ECSAs, execute the status command as described in status.

...

1-3: Errors only effecting one or more EC/ECSA.
10-11: Fatal error, no EC /ECSA was disconnected.

CodeDescription

0

Will be returned if the command was successful.

1

Will be returned if an EC /ECSA process is not running.

2

Will be returned if an EC /ECSA cannot be reached due to a communication problem.

3

Will be returned if an EC /ECSA does not exist.

10

Will be returned if the Platform cannot be reached due to communication problems.

11

Will be returned in case configuration files in MZ_HOME/etc contain errors that prevent
the command from running.
