AbortPolicy
Fields
| Asynchronous | 1 | The agent thread initiating the shutdown may actively abort other running agent threads. |
| Synchronous | 0 | Agent threads are only terminated at well-defined locations after a shutdown is in progress, such as before or after query execution and message logging. |
Remarks
An unanticipated shutdown can occur because of a system runtime failure or a user initiated abort request.
The policy should be chosen depending on application state requirements. An asynchronous policy may be more responsive during a shutdown but can require the use of other techniques to return the runtime environment to an expected state. A synchronous policy can help avoid inadvertent interruption of updates to these critical global runtime states when a replication agent is invoked synchronously from an application.
