Stop and Start Dispatchers and Services
You can stop and start dispatchers and services manually. If a service stops responding, you must stop and restart it.
Each dispatcher and service can be
-
started
-
stopped immediately and delete all the requests that are running or queued, without completing those requests
-
stopped after running and queued requests are processed
You can stop or start all dispatchers and services in the IBM Cognos 8 environment at once.
When you start IBM Cognos 8 using the configuration tool, all dispatchers and services start unless they are disabled in the configuration tool. For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.
By default, all services start when you restart the computer on which they are installed.
Stopping a service also stops all its processes. When you stop a dispatcher, all its services are stopped. If the suspended dispatcher has an active Content Manager, all users except administrators are locked out.
After a service is stopped, it has a suspended status System Performance Metrics.
You must have the required permissions to access IBM Cognos Administration functionality. See Secured Functions and Features.
