Note: The scheduler and application server also refresh the internal components responsible for managing real resources.

Follow these steps:

1. Run the shell that is sourced to use CA Workload Automation AE.
   The operating system command prompt appears.
2. Enter the following commands at the operating system prompt:

unisrvcntr status waae_sched.$AUTOSERV

 

unisrvcntr status waae_server.$AUTOSERV

The scheduler and application server process IDs are displayed as follows:

               CA Services Status Report

           Component Name               Pid        Status

           Component Name               Pid        Status    

------------------------------------  -------  --------------

WAAE Application Server (ACE)           33330  running

3. Enter the following command:

kill -HUP {scheduler_pid|applicationserver_pid}

• scheduler_pid
  Defines the process ID of the scheduler that you want to pause and resume.
• applicationserver_pid
