Restarting or Shutting Down a Station

You can restart or shut down a station from the WebDashboard.

  1. Open the WebDashboard as described in Accessing the WebDashboard in a Browser.
  2. On the left side of the WebDashboard interface, click the Stations option.
  3. Click any SIMULIA Execution Engine station name in the list at the top of the interface to display a screen showing more station details. This screen also gives you access to the following options:

    • Remove. This option allows you to delete inactive (shutdown) stations that you no longer want included in the station list.

    • Restart. This option allows you to stop and restart a station. It is available only if the station is using the Fiper DRM mode. For more information on using this option, including its limitations, see Restarting a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Remotely.

      This option cannot be used to simply restart stopped stations. It is essentially a remote station restart (stops a running station and then restarts it remotely).

    • Shutdown. This option shuts down the selected station. It is available only if the station is using the Fiper DRM mode. Use this option with care because shutting down a station that is actively running workitems can result in lost work.
