Figure 3-16 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 199), 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 200). 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.
Normal and Abnormal Exits from the Halt Script
The package’s ability to move to other nodes is affected by the exit conditions on leaving
the halt script. The following are the possible exit codes:
