Manage engines

You can view the transition status of an engine from the Operation Status column in the details pane after changing an engine to a new state.

The action of placing an engine on scan occurs when you place an engine in a run-time state in which it is performing its normal processing as part of its execute method. However, you can place an engine off scan, which is the state that indicates that it is idle and not ready for execution. You can also control the startup and shutdown of engines.

If you are using redundancy, you can control the run-time state of the redundant pairs the same way you would for a standalone engine. You can also initiate a forced failover, where the active engine is placed in standby status and the standby engine becomes active.
