Application restart after the infrastructure outage

1. Perform the steps from Structured application restart.
2. If some workflow instances were running when the infrastructure outage happened, they became terminated. You might consider checking the terminated instances and restarting workflows if necessary.
3. If engines or compliance rules were running when the infrastructure outage happened, the data could have been partially processed. All data will be processed fully during the next run of engines and compliance rules.

Validation of correct restart after recovery

1. Perform a functional test with the highest care:

• Log on to the console
• Log on to the portal
• Run the data providers
• Run the GDIE imports
• Open the reports (including the License Management reports)

2. Launch the Matrix42 Configuration Wizard and run System Consistency Check.

The system consistency check will automatically analyze and detect possible issues in the following functionality of Matrix42 Software Asset & Service Management system:

• check the database;
• analyze all user interface-related ASQL queries for inconsistencies in the data model structure;
• test all connection settings of the enabled connectors;
• initializes compliance rules;
• publish all forms and property dialog pages.

Select the necessary checkboxes to run the custom system scan and follow the instructions on the screen:

The system scanning activates the maintenance mode of the application. All data and customizations are not affected and remain intact.

When the consistency check is completed, the system provides the configuration summary if any issues are detected.
