Questions on Quiesce/Restart ESP

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Here are the questions:
1) Once QUIESCED, do I need to change the startup parm to Quiesce to ensure ESP does not start after the IPLs?
2) Any issues with work running on the distributed platform, not being able to talk to ESP for HOURS?

Environment

Component: ESP Workload Automation
Release: ALL

Resolution

Answers:
1) No. ESP will stay in quiesce mode until Restart is issued.
2) Agent wobs keep running and agent retries to connect to ESP until it's able to send over the data.
