Configuring Automatic Restart for Server Components

Automatic restart is a feature that allows a Siebel Server component to automatically attempt a restart if the component exits with an error. For a user-defined number of times after the error, the Siebel Server tries to restart the component. This feature greatly reduces the administration of Siebel Server components. By default, this feature is disabled for all components. This topic is part of Advanced Configuration Tasks.

Note: If a Siebel Server component is terminated, that is, it does not exit with an error, then the Siebel Server component is not restarted.

You can configure automatic restart by using the following parameters:

Auto Restart (alias AutoRestart)
Minimum Up Time (alias MinUpTime)
Number of Restarts (alias NumRestart)

The Minimum Up Time and Number of Restarts parameters combine to determine the number of restart attempts in a time interval allowed for a component (NumRestart multiplied by MinUpTime). If a component instance cannot be restarted after this time interval, then no new restart is attempted (therefore, the component instance will not run).

Typically, you set these parameters at the component level, but, depending on your system configuration, you might want to set these parameters at the Siebel Enterprise Server or Siebel Server levels.
