Question

Does aleph_startup need to be run to restart the daemons in a particular library, or is there a faster way?

Answer

Article 5053 ( https://exlibrisgroup.my.salesforce.com/articles/Q_A/ue01-ue08-ue11-etc-In-which-libraries-should-they-run?popup=true ) describes which libraries each ue_nn process should run in.

The values is aleph_start are read not just by the $alephe_root/aleph_startup procedure but also by the $aleph_proc/unlock_library procedure. If a job locks a library and stops the daemons, when finished, it will execute unlock_library which looks at aleph_start to see which daemons should be restarted in the library.

If for some reason the daemons are not restarted, do the following to restart them:

util c/5 ("Lock Library")
util c/6 ("Unlock Library")

(This is faster than running aleph_startup.)
