In the configuration of SDC -> sdc.properties, there is an option to set set'runner.boot.pipeline.restart'  to true or false. Let's discuss with an example how this property will behave:

Let’s say we have 10 pipelines in our SDC, Currently, 5 are in running state and 5 are in the stopped state.

• By default this property is true

Now when we restart the SDC, once SDC is up then as similar to the previous SDC state, 5 pipelines will be in Running state, and 5 will be in the stopped state

• Set the property to false

Now when we restart the SDC, once SDC is up and running, you’ll see all the pipeline are in the stopped state

Now you need to manually start the 5 pipelines (Which were running before)
