Start and stop manager with CTRL script

[michael.danzer]

Hello,

I am working with WinCC OA 3.11 and have to implement a function to restart certain managers.

I already tried the "pmonStopManager" command but it did not work and gave me an TCP error:


WCCOActrl (5), 2018.05.16 16:29:29.409, CTRL, SEVERE, 176, Uncaught exception in thread started at main:
WCCOActrl (5), 2018.05.16 16:29:29.409, CTRL, SEVERE, 73, Variable not defined, Restart.ctl Library: C:\\Siemens\\RSC\\BasisPlatform\\scripts\\libs\\pmon.ctl
Line: 166, gTcpFileDescriptor2
Stacktrace:
1: pmon_command(string command = "root##SING ...", string host = "localhost", int port = 4999, bool showErrorDialog = TRUE, bool openTcp = FALSE) at pmon.ctl:166



Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? In version 3.15 a start and stop works with the pmon console ("... - command SINGLE_MGR:START 3" for example). But not in 3.11 apparently.

Thanks

Regards

If you want to stop a manager connected to the Event Manager you can simply write the manager ID to the datapoint element _Managers.Exit.
To get the manager ID the CTRL function convManIdToInt() can be used.
In a redundant system you have to use the dp element _Managers_2.Exit if a process connected to the Event Manager on server 2 shall be stopped.

If the start mode is set to "always" the process monitor will automatically start the process again.
