Hi

“pause” an installation would mean: “pause downloading
content”, and “pause installing content”, with a “resume”
button making p2 continue the process of executing the
provisioning plan.
Pausing
a download would come in handy if you need to reboot, or go
home for the day and want to continue your install the next
day.
Pausing
an install would also be nice in case the installation has
to be halted, maybe you need disk I/O for something else and
want to wait with the p2 install until later etc.
Does
this clarify the request?
HTH,

Could you refine what you mean by "pause"
and the kind of problem you are trying to address?
I have many ideas on what this could mean
but I'd rather not interpret :)

Our p2-based installer would benefit from a
feature where customers pause the the
execution of the provisioning plan.
I’ve
seen other installers allow pausing the
download phase , and now I’m wondering if we
could implement the same for p2 as well…
Let
me know what you think, I can easily kick off
a bugzilla here but I thought I’d ask first to
see if others would find this feature useful…
Implementation-wise
I think the p2 core guys should have the
biggest say in how this should work, I was
hoping for a simple interface using the agent,
the prov eventbus or the monitor, like
“mymonitor.pause()” or the like…
