Starting a Graph Instance

Scenario

You can start graphs in Stopped status in the graph list so that they can be accessed and analyzed again.

Graphs in the Running state cannot be started.

Procedure

1. Log in to the GES management console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
3. In the graph list, locate your desired graph, click More in the Operation column, and select Start.
   • If the graph to be started has backup data that can be restored, a dialog box appears indicating that you can choose either of the following methods to start the graph:
     • Restore Last Graph: Restart the graph that stopped running.
     • Start Backup: Start the graph using the backup data.

     After selecting a startup method, click Yes. The graph status becomes Preparing and the progress is displayed.

   • If the graph to be started does not have backup data that can be restored, the graph status changes to Preparing and the progress appears after you click OK.

4. After the graph is started, the status changes from Preparing to Starting. Wait several minutes. When the startup is successful, the graph status is switched to Running.
   

   If the startup fails, try again later. If the failure persists, fill in and submit a service ticket to contact the technical support.
