Maintenance and Recovery 9
The Troubleshooting tab in the Orchestrator configuration interface allows you to perform several bulk
operations related to workflows and tasks. You can use the Troubleshooting tab to globally reset the server
and remove all traces of previous runs.
NOTE Before you click a troubleshooting option, make sure that the Orchestrator server is stopped.
Table 9-1. Troubleshooting Options
Action Description
Cancel all running
workflows
Marks all running workflows as cancelled in the database, which prevents the server from
restarting the workflows on the next reboot. Allows Orchestrator to exit infinite loops.
Delete all workflow runs Deletes all completed workflow tokens from the Orchestrator database.
Suspend all scheduled
tasks
Cancels all scheduled tasks, but does not stop or remove its associated workflow runs.
Clean all server temporary
files
Cleans all temporary files that the JBoss server uses to ensure the server persistency. The JBoss
server is the application server that underlies the Orchestrator server.
Force plug-in reinstallation
when server starts
Used so that a changed plug-in is correctly updated on the next server start.
NOTE If you change the Orchestrator database after you configure and install the default
plug-ins, you must force plug-in reinstallation. Forcing plug-in reinstallation deletes the
install_directory
\app-
server\server\vmo\plugins\_VSOPluginInstallationVersion.xml file, which holds
the version of the plug-ins already installed and forces plug-in reinstallation. The plug-in is
reinstalled with its original content, and any changes are lost.
