What are the recommended steps for adding new custom action executor

[Giridhar Addepalli <gi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am following below steps (as part of rpm) to add custom action executor
to oozie-server

step 1) stop oozie server
step 2) modify oozie-site.xml using shell script to add new custom action
executor and xsd file
step 3) call oozie-setup.sh with new custom action executor jar
step 4) start oozie server.

I want to know what happens to the already running workflows when i stop
oozie server in step 1?

Is the above sequence of steps advisable?
Also please point me to relavent docs about what happens to running
workflows when oozie server stops ( accidentally / on initiation by user )

Thanks,
Giridhar.

Hi,

The steps you mentioned are correct. Some more relevant information is
here 
http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/DG_CustomActionExecutor.html

Jobs are not affected by Oozie server shutdown and restart. They are
picked up for processing from where they left off.
