A Shutdown procedure executes just before the AppServer agent is shut down. A Shutdown procedure takes no parameters. You can specify the name of an AppServer Shutdown procedure using the OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management or by setting the srvrShutdownProc property in the AppServer properties file (ubroker.properties).

Unlike the Startup procedure, the Shutdown procedure is run as a non-persistent procedure, and any errors propagated by the Shutdown procedure are simply ignored. The AppServer agent terminates immediately after the Shutdown procedure executes.
