Suspend Application Instance

The Suspend Application Instance object will suppress all events from a PATROL application instance. You can specify the length of time before the application instance will resume or you can use the Resume Application Instance object to receive events from that application instance.

Note: The Suspend Application Instance object suspends application instance parameters, not the application instances. If you want to manually resume an application instance you have suspended using the object, you will need to use the context menu of the parameter list not the application instance.

How it is used

The Suspend Application Instance object can be used to suspend an application instance when you are performing maintenance on the managed system where the application instance is stored.

Configuration

To configure the Suspend Application Instance object you need to know the name of the managed system that stores the application instance that you want to suspend, the duration of the suspension, and the class and instance of the application that you want to suspend.
