Dataflux Data Management Server - Making new MACROS active!!!

LuisLeiteBR — Tue, 06 Dec 2016 19:56:41 GMT

Hi everybody!

I´m using Dataflux DMServer 2.6, and needing to make my new MACROS available to my JOBS and PJOBS.

We have just created the MACROS in the "macros.cfg" file.

Are there any procedure to make that new MACROS active, without restarting the server? We have some JOBS running and it´s not a good option to stop them.

Thank you all.

Hi Luís,

Check out page 66 in the Data Management Server admin guide (or search on "Update Macros") for information on how this process works.

Thank´s Ron.

Reading about "Update Macros" on the Admin Guide, we found this procedure below:

" Update Macros for Process Services, Batch Jobs, and Profile Jobs

For real-time process services, batch jobs, and profile jobs, all of which are executed by separate instances of the DFWFPROC process:
1. In the Data Management Servers tree in Studio, select a server by name.
2. Right-click on the server name and select Unload idle processes from the dropdown menu.

Unloading idle processes also updates macros for all subsequent instances of the DFWFPROC process. "

The question is if unloading idle processes will stop (or interrupt) the running jobs.
