During a DMA startup, either a stand alone DMA or the offline DMA in a Failover being brought online, is there an order to how all the elements are started up. For example does DM start elements based on their IDs with the lowest IDs being started first?
Thanks
There’s no guaranteed order in which elements get started.
Hello Jeff, My understanding was that the elements will get started in the alphabetical order from the “C:\Skyline DataMiner\Elements” folder.
But Wouter pointed out that this is not the case, and that there is no way to know the order in which they will start.
Part of this might appear to be alphabetical, as the list of elements gets initialized by iterating the subfolders of c:Skyline DataMinerElements (which typically returns them in alphabetical order).
However, the main start actions are executed in a multithreaded fashion based on an unordered set of elements.
That’s not exactly true.
