The following buttons are available: Start - Only enabled when the server is in the stopped state. When this button is pressed the currently selected server service will transition to the starting state and if there are no errors it will transition to the running state. If an error occurs during server start-up, an appropriate error message will be displayed and the service will transition to the stopped state. Stop - Only enabled when the server is in the running state. When this button is pressed the currently selected server service will transition to the stopping state and if there are no errors it will transition to the stopped state. If an error occurs during server shut-down, an appropriate error message will be displayed. The service state will be unknown because it will depend on the error that occurred during shut-down. Restart - Only enabled when the server is in the running state. When this button is pressed InfoWorks Server Configuration Manager will perform a start command followed by a stop command if the start command was successful. |
