Stopping an Instance

Use the All Actions Dropdown in the Applications Console to stop an application instance.

About this task

Important: Stopping an instance from the Applications Console does not perform a graceful shutdown of the instance. The action runs a kill -9 command to stop the instance process.

Procedure

From the Application Tabs on the Applications Console, choose the application containing the instance you want to stop. See The Applications Console.
From the Instance Table, choose the instance to stop.
From the All Actions Dropdown, choose Stop Instance.
Optional: In the Stop Instance Dialog, check the Take a snapshot before stopping Checkbox to capture a snapshot of the instance state before killing the process.
In the Stop Instance Dialog, click the Stop Button.
