Restarting a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Remotely

This feature does not allow you to restart a station that has been completely stopped (shutdown). It only allows for an immediate stop/restart of the station.

The following restrictions and limitations should be noted when using this feature:

• Restarting a station that was initially launched with an interactive logon will always require manual logon from the computer when the station is running.

• Non-responsive, non-running stations (in the shutdown state) and stations using the LSF DRM option are not supported.

Before remotely restarting a station, you must ensure that the logon settings (user name, password, and connection profile) will be provided using one of the following methods:

• Using station property file settings (as described in Configuring SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Properties)

• Using command line arguments (as described in Configuring SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Properties)

• Specifying information at the prompt when the station is installed as a service. For more information on running the station as a service, see Installing a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station as a Service (Windows) or Installing a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station as a Service Manually (Linux).

You can restart a station in any of the following ways:

• In the Dashboard, right-click on any station in the station list and choose either Restart selected stations or Restart all stations.

• In the WebDashboard, click on any station name in the station list. In the new screen that appears, click Restart.

• In the Command Line Client, use the restartstation command. See Using the Command Line Client in the Isight User’s Guide for complete information.
