Right way to shutdown Camunda

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hi,

In scenarios where configuration changes are required, usually a restart is required for the configurations to be picked up. The usual step I follow is:
a. $CAMUNDA_HOME/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.19/bin/shutdown.sh
b. $CAMUNDA_HOME/start-camunda.sh

  1. Is the above the right way to shutdown and startup the service?
  2. I also notice that even if I delete the default deployments such as “camunda-invoice” prior to shutdown, it appears again after restart. Why is this and how can I permanently get rid of this?

Hi @etp

your procedure for restarting Camunda is totally fine. You can also start the Tomcat from:
$CAMUNDA_HOME/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.19/bin/startup.bat

The Invoice example is always redeployed to your environment because it is added in the Tomcat Bundle. You can go to the folder:
$CAMUNDA_HOME/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.19/webapps/ to see all the applications in your server. There is also a folder for the Invoice example. If you do not need this example anymore, you can delete this folder.

Regards
Michael
