Enabling and Disabling Services and Service Processes

Enabling and Disabling Services and Service Processes

You can enable and disable application services and service processes in the Administrator tool. When a service is enabled, there must be at least one service process enabled and running for the service to be available. By default, all service processes are enabled.
The behavior of a service when it starts service processes depends on how it is configured:
  • If the service is configured for high availability, then the service starts the service process on the primary node. The service processes on the backup nodes are in Standing By state.
  • If the service is configured to run on a grid, then the service starts service processes on all nodes that have the service role.
A service does not start a disabled service process in any situation.
The state of a service depends on the state of its processes. A service can have the following states:
  • Available. You have enabled the service and at least one service process is running. The service is available to process requests.
  • Unavailable. You have enabled the service and none of its processes are running. This can be because the service processes are disabled or failed to start. The service is not available to process requests.
  • Disabled. You have disabled the service.
You can disable a service to perform a management task, such as changing the data movement mode for a PowerCenter Integration Service. You might want to disable the service process on a node if you need to shut down the node for maintenance. When you disable a service, all associated service processes stop, but they remain enabled.
The following table describes the different states of a service and its processes:
Service Process Configuration
Service Process State
Description
Enabled
Running
The service process is running on the node.
Enabled
Standing By
The service process is enabled but is not running because another service process is running as the primary service process. It is on standby to run in case of service failover.
Disabled
Disabled
The service is enabled but the service process is not running on the node.
Enabled
Stopped
The service is unavailable.
Enabled
Failed
The service and service process are enabled, but the service process could not start.
