Modifying systems while the Launcher is running

You can make changes to a Launcher system file (.msl) while the Launcher is running, however, you can only see the changes if the system is restarted from the Management Console. To add a new system, both the Launcher service or daemon and the Management Console need to be restarted.

The procedures in each of the following scenarios assume that a system is currently running in the Management Console.

To modify an .msl file

If the changes are only to the contents of one particular .msl file that is already part of the CompoundSystem for a Launcher process (see "Multiple Processes" for additional information when using the multiple-processes feature), and the name of the system file is the same, then you must do the following actions:

  1. Stop the CompoundSystem from the Management Console.
  2. Overwrite the existing file in the deployment directory with the updated .msl file.
  3. Restart the system from the Management Console.

To add or delete files

  1. Stop the CompoundSystem from the Management Console.
  2. Disconnect the Management Console from the relevant Launcher.
  3. Stop the Launcher service.
  4. After the service has stopped, make additions or deletions as necessary.
  5. Restart the Launcher service.
  6. In the Management Console, reconnect to the Launcher and restart the CompoundSystem.
