Stop or Start an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace Instance and Servers
You can stop or start an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance, which automatically stops or starts the Administration Server and Managed Server running on the instance.
To achieve zero down time, you can stop and start one instance at a time in a multinode cluster. This stops or starts the corresponding Administration Server and Managed Server on one instance, leaving the servers on the other instances in the cluster running.
When an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instance is stopped, billing depends on the compute shape used to create the instance. This means that stopping an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance may or may not pause billing. See Resource Billing for Stopped Instances in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
Note:
When an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance is running, you can stop, start, and restart the Administration Server or Managed Server independently, without stopping the instance. You might want to do this if you have other processes besides the servers running on the instance and you do not want to shut down these other processes.Why Stop an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace Instance?
Stopping an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance frees up compute resources used by the instance.
Why Stop, Start, or Restart an Administration Server or Managed Server?
When an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance is running:
-
You can stop the Managed Server to free up resources. You might also want to stop the instance instead of scaling, keeping the server ready for a later time.
-
You can start a Managed Server if it is stopped and you want to use it again.
-
You can restart the Administration Server or Managed Server if you are experiencing problems with the server that would warrant a reboot. The restart operation is the same as stopping the server, then starting it immediately.
