Figure 21 Legacy Package Time Line for Halt Script Execution
At any step along the way, an error will result in the script exiting abnormally (with an
exit code of 1). If the halt script execution is not complete before the time specified in
the halt_script_timeout (page 208), the package manager will kill the script. During
halt 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 halting
the package.
NOTE: This diagram applies specifically to legacy packages. Differences for modular
scripts are called out above.
