Has anyone developed a CRON Schedule for recycling WebFOCUS for maintenance using a Unix Solaris system. Oracle 10g.

How do you start and stop the WebFOCUS server normally?

Have your Unix admin simply set up a cron job to run these.

Just add a little piece of script code to see if the server process is running
before issuing the start

Patricia, if you find a solution that works for you, can you post or contact me as well? I would be very interested in this.

Thanks
Shantie.

Just create a script like the following in the home/eda folder (call it cyclewf.sh):

/yourpath/wfs/bin/edastart -stop
/yourpath/wfs/bin/edastart -clear
/yourpath/wfs/bin/edastart -start


We use the linux account of eda to run WebFOCUS, so, in the home/eda folder create a text file (i.e. eda_schedule.txt) with the following to cycle WebFOCUS at 1 am on every Sunday. There is a system file (I think it is cron.allow) that the linux id must be in.

#  There are 6 parameters separated by a space:
#
#               Specific  Specific  Day of
#    Min  Hour    Day       Month    Week    Command
#     *    *       *          *        *     command to be executed
#     |    |       |          |        |
#     |    |       |          |        +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
#     |    |       |          +---------- month (1 - 12)
#     |    |       +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
#     |    +----------- hour (0 - 23)
#     +------------- min (0 - 59)
#
#  Note:  Each group can have multiple values separated by a comma.
#         Groups are separated by a blank
#

#  Cycle WF every Sunday at 1am

Login in as eda and from the home/eda folder just type:
crontab eda_schedule.txt
