Shutting Down an iCDB Server

You can only shut down an iCDB Server if it has no clients connected to it. If the iCDB Server has live clients connected to it, then you can disconnect them.

Dead clients can occur when the client did not disconnect from the iCDB Server as expected. If you want to shut down an iCDB Server that has dead clients connected to it, you must kill the iCDB Server. See Killing an iCDB Server.

Only users who have read/write access to the database folder can perform this procedure.

Procedure

Select the iCDB Server you want to shut down from the list of iCDB Servers.
Click Tools > Shut down server. A message box asks you if you are sure you want to shut down the iCDB Server.
Click Yes.
The iCDB Server disappears from the list, and its process should no longer appear in the iCDB Server machine’s task manager or process list. If you have book marked the iCDB Server as a favorite, it does not disappear from the list, but the text changes from bold to regular text, and the status indicator changes to gray indicating the iCDB Server is shut down.

Note:
An iCDB Server also shuts down when the last client connected to the iCDB Server closes that iCDB Server’s project.
