Best Practice for Restarting BO Server/Services

server administration XI Server Discussion
1

Is there any recommended best practice for the frequency of restarting the BO services? Daily? Weekly?> also, I am trying to do the Batch file to get the services to restart automatically on a schedule. Any recommendations? I have looked at prior articles and cna’t get it to work.

here is the code in my batch file.

cls
echo off
echo .
echo .
echo Starting all the BOXIR2 services.
echo .
echo .

net stop “Central Management Server”

echo .
echo .
echo Service has been stopped.
echo .
echo .

What version of BO are you using?

Version 3.x does not require any regular restarting. XI R2 doesn’t really require that either, but in some cases I’ve seen the need to restart the reporting services, but that is usually not the case. Tomcat on the other hand can require a restart depending on the usage.

The name in comas after the command NET STOP must be identical to the service name as it appears in the services MMC.

Maybe that’s your issue, because msot of the times the service name is not just “Central Management Server”.

In addition there is a good document regarding stopping and starting services, safely, search for:-

How to Shutdown XIr2 System.pdf

on the SAP site. This may or may not be relevant depending on whether there is any usage during the planned time of shutdown… :slight_smile: .
