Q:How do I stop processing on the Engine?

A:There are several ways to stop processing on the Engine on the eDirectory platform, but only one for the Active Directory platform.

Applies to:   eDirectory platform - NSM v2.5

Options (if the Engine is running):

• Login to NSMAdmin, choose Pending Events, and Select Stop Processing.
• Remote console to the Engine server and type the following:
  
  v2.5 - nsmengin process=off

Options (if the Engine is not running):

• Remote console to the Engine server and load the Engine by typing the following:
  
  v2.5 - load sys:/factory/nsmengin -noprocess

---

Applies to:   eDirectory platform - NSM v2.0

Options (if the Engine is running):

• Login to NSMAdmin, choose Manage Engine, and Select Stop Processing.
• Remote console to the Engine server and type the following:
  
  v2.0 - fsfengin process=off

Options (if the Engine is not running):

• Remote console to the Engine server and load the Engine by typing the following:
  
  v2.0 - load sys:/factory/fsfengin -noprocess

---

Applies to:   Active Directory platform

• Login to NSMAdmin, choose Manage Engine, and Select Stop Processing.
• Stopping the processing of events cannot be done from the command line without stopping the Engine Service, and running the NSMEngine.exe in debug mode.
  
  Instructions:
  1. Unload the NSM Engine Service via the Services control panel.
  2. Open a Command window, and change directory to "C:\Novell\Storage Manager\Engine".
  3. Load the NSMEngine in debug mode with both the debug and noprocess flags. v2.5 NSMEngine.exe -debug -noprocess
  4. The debug mode can be stopped by using Control + C. Once stopped the NSM Engine service can be restarted.
