disconnect (2.3)

disconnect [ -q ] [ -verbose ] <running pico process> ...
Switches:
-q           Quiet mode
-verbose     Verbose mode

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

Note!

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

After disconnect, the EC 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 during the Platform upgrade.

After the upgrade has been performed, each EC has to be restarted in order to re-connect to the Platform.
