How to properly shutdown IBM TRIRIGA servers

Regarding server bounces, I’ve noticed a haphazard assortment of processes. In an IDEAL shut down situation, the steps I’ve been preaching to our clients are:
  1. In the Admin Console, log in to Stop the workflow agent(s)
    • This will pause the workflow queue.  Currently running workflows will continue as normal, but no new workflows will be processed.  Queued workflows are stored in a DB table and will still exist when the agent is restarted / server is restarted.
  1. Validate the following BEFORE shutting down
    • Users have logged out of the system
    • No currently running workflows
    • Extended formula queue is empty (Performance Monitor in admin console or via SQL query)
  1. Shutdown each server
    • Option 1: <serverURL>/html/en/default/admin/shutdown.jsp
    • Option 2: Run the shutdown.sh script or windows bat file
  1. Validate shutdown by:
    • The server.log file should have a line that reads “Shutdown complete”
    • The  system process should no longer be running.

If any of the validations above fail, it’s typically no big deal, but it would be good to double check.
