Restarting archiving processes automatically

iQ.Suite Tips & Tricks for Microsoft Exchange / SMTP

For email archiving, iQ.Suite Store requires connections to a data base and a filing system. In certain situations, these systems may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance work, for example. In these cases, iQ.Suite Store processes can be restarted automatically. How? Find out in the following pages.

Step by Step:

  • In order to restart iQ.Suite Storeprocesses automatically, a so-called param.ini file is needed. This is a textfile created in the index „...\Program Files\GROUP Technologies\iQ.SuiteStore\Bin_Arch".

  • For the param.ini file, the section"[ControlService]" is required. With this section, the behaviour of theiQ.Suite Store Control Service is influenced.
  • In this section, up to 30 entriesfor restarting iQ.Suite Store processes can be defined.
  • The structure of a "restart command"appears as follows:
    Restart<IndexNumber>=<Time>;<Weekday(s)>
  • For a daily restart at 06.00o'clock, the entry looks as follows:
    RestartTime1=06:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
  • If multiple restarts are to beimplemented on one day, additional entries are needed.
    Example:

    RestartTime1=06:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime2=02:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime3=03:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime4=04:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime5=05:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime6=06:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime7=07:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
    RestartTime8=08:00;Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun

    Thus, the processes are restarted in hourly intervals on every weekdaybetween 01.00 and 08.00 o'clock.
  • Restart iQ.Suite Store ControlServices to activate the entries in the Param.ini file.
