Quarantine Page

The Quarantine page is part of the Administration perspective. It displays intercepted internal system messages to make checking them easier.

Overview

Internal messages control processing based on objects and their settings. Thus, checking their contents is of high importance.

Invalid messages which cancel a server process are intercepted and displayed in this area of the Administration perspective.
Your AE system is therefore protected since these messages do not affect the server processes.

It is advisable to contact Automic Support; these messages are helpful for further analyses. In some cases messages should not be released without consulting our support.

Where to find the page:

The Administration perspective is only available, if the user has the required privilege.

  1. Open the Administration perspective in your AWI.
  2. In the Navigation pane on the left find the Quarantine tab.
  3. Click to open the Quarantine page.

Deactivate Internal Message Checking

By default, the Automation Engine checks internal messages. On UNIX, this can have a negative impact on performance.

To deactivate this function use the parameter exception= in the Automation Engine's INI file.
Find details on the INI's configuration in: Structure of the Automation Engine INI File

Reaction to Invalid Messages

The following steps are initiated if an invalid message has been detected:

  1. The message is put into quarantine.
  2. All database modifications made by this message are canceled.
  3. Further message information is written to the Automation Engine's log file.
  4. A trace file of the following name is created:
    UC4Dump_name of the Server process_RunID_time stamp.txt
    Example:
    c:\AUTOMIC\server\temp\UC4Dump_UC2T#WP002_40373135_20060406144901543.txt
  5. A dump is created if possible.
  6. The ServiceManager restarts the aborted server process.
  7. If the administrator has defined the key EXECUTE_ON_EXCEPTION in the variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS - System-Wide Settings, the specified object starts.
