Pausing the Engine

If you want to act directly on your Build Forge® database, to back it up, restore it, or change the schema in some way, you should pause the engine before you make any changes.

To pause the engine, select Administration > System and locate the Pause Build Forge Engine property (use the Filter box). The system displays a form for editing the Pause Build Forge Engine setting. Change the property to Y and click the Save Config button.

The system pauses the engine, but any currently-running projects continue. You must wait for any currently active jobs to complete to ensure that no data is being written to the database.

To reactivate the engine, change the value of the property back to N, and click the Save Config button again.
