Restarting
the router after a crash
If the router crashes, use the following procedure to
restart it. This procedure ensures that all documents that have
been received will be processed.
- Check the router_in directory for files with the extension vmd_locked.
- If there are files with the extension vmd_locked that are more
than two minutes old, rename them to a file with the extension vmd_restart.
Note:
If multiple instances of the router are running,
there will be files with the vmd_locked extension that are being
actively processed by the other instances of the router. Do not
rename those files.
- Depending on a document's processing state, it is possible
that a document will fail with an event 210031 "Unable
to nonrep document." If this occurs, the files for the
document will reside in the directory router_in/reject. If this
happens, rename the file with the vmd_locked extension to a file
with the extension vmd_restart. Then move the files for the document
to the directory router_in dir for processing.
