Restarting the Data Service

The restart_service() function is called by decide_restart_or_failover() to attempt to restart the data service on the same node.

This function executes the following logic:

• Determines if the data service is still registered under the PMF.

  If the service is still registered, the function carries out the following actions:

  • Obtains the Stop method name and the Stop_timeout value for the data service

  • Uses hatimerun to start the Stop method for the data service, passing the Stop_timeout value

  • If the data service is successfully stopped, obtains the Start method name and the Start_timeout value for the data service

  • Uses hatimerun to start the Start method for the data service, passing the Start_timeout value

• If the data service is no longer registered under the PMF, the implication is that the data service has exceeded the maximum number of allowable retries under the PMF. The scha_control command is run with the GIVEOVER argument to fail over the data service to a different node.
