Suspend All action for Active Instance(s)

Empower end-users to execute emergency bulk suspension of all Active Instances in the Nodinite BizTalk Server Monitoring agent for any selected BizTalk Server Application.

With Nodinite Monitor Views, including BizTalk Server Active Instances and Remote Actions, authorized users can immediately suspend all active instances when critical incidents require halting message flow across an entire BizTalk Application.

Suspend All

The Suspend All action provides emergency bulk control when an entire BizTalk Application needs to be paused. This is typically used during critical incidents where continuing to process instances would worsen the situation or cause data integrity issues.

Emergency scenarios requiring Suspend All:

  • Backend system failure – Database server crashed, suspend all instances attempting to write to that system
  • Data quality issues – Source system sending corrupt data, suspend processing until corrected
  • Deployment rollback – Critical bug discovered post-deployment, halt processing during emergency rollback
  • Infrastructure maintenance – Unplanned maintenance on dependent systems (network storage, authentication servers)
  • Security incident – Suspicious activity detected, freeze processing for forensic investigation

To suspend all Active Instances, select the 'Suspend all' menu item in the Actions button:

The Suspend All Action Button menu item.

A confirmation dialog ensures you intend to suspend all Active Instances, preventing accidental actions:

Warning

Suspending all instances stops message flow for the entire BizTalk Application. Coordinate with business stakeholders before using this action during business hours, as it will halt integration processing until instances are manually resumed.

Tip

For selective suspension of specific instances, use the Manage Active Instances action instead.
