Figure 20 Legacy Package Time Line
At any step along the way, an error will result in the script exiting abnormally (with an
exit code of 1). For example, if a package service is unable to be started, the control
script will exit with an error.
NOTE: This diagram is specific to legacy packages. Modular packages also run external
scripts and “pre-scripts” as explained above.
If the run script execution is not complete before the time specified in the
run_script_timeout parameter (page 207), the package manager will kill the script.
During run script execution, messages are written to a log file. For legacy packages, this
is in the same directory as the run script and has the same name as the run script and
the extension.log. For modular packages, the pathname is determined by the
script_log_file parameter in the package configuration file (page 208)). Normal
starts are recorded in the log, together with error messages or warnings related to starting
the package.
