“Starting and stopping applications” on this page
•
“Using Active Upgrade Environment Variables” on page 5-127 “Generating Exit Values” on
page 5-128

Starting and stopping applications
If you write a program to control a critical application during the upgrade process, ensure that your
program not only stops and starts the application at the appropriate times, but also
disables and
enables the default startup mechanism for the application (for example, the default Startup Type
setting in the Services Control Manager or a startup item in the system registry). If you do not
disable the default startup type for an application, it might interfere with or override your custom
action.
See “Selecting Application Services to Control” on page 5-119 for information about how the
Active Upgrade Console changes the
Startup Type for application services.
