Certain operations may require you to start or stop a service or application pool on the Metasys Server. These operations include, but are not limited to, the maintenance, restore, and rename functions in the Metasys Database Manager. Error scenarios may also require you to start, stop, or restart a service or application pool on the Metasys Server. From Metasys Release 10.0, batch files are available for stopping, starting, and restarting the Metasys Server services and application pools, without the need to restart the host computer. When you use these batch files to stop Metasys Server services, no data is lost because the data is sent to the appropriate queues.
