Enabling and disabling Z Understand and Refactor

Start and stop the Z Understand and Refactor workload without losing data.

Use the enable and disable commands to start and stop the workload after the initial setup is complete:

 
./bobctl understand enable   # start
./bobctl understand disable  # stop — preserves all data
  • The enable command can run only after the initial setup has been completed. If setup has not been performed, the command returns an error.
    •
  • The disable command retains all PVCs and the setup secret. As a result, you can re-enable the workload without repeating the initial setup procedure.
    •
  • Both commands support the --no-wait and --dry-run options.
