Restarting microservices

If you change the configuration, resources or anything else about a standalone microservice, you need to restart the microservice to apply the changes you made. This topic explains how to restart your microservice.

Procedure

  1. If your microservice runs as a Windows service (true if you used installService.ps1 to install it on a Windows machine), in your Start menu, enter the command services.msc.
    The Services window opens.
  2. In the list of services, find the microservice you want to restart, one of the following:
    • Tridion Transport Service
    • Tridion Monitoring Service
    • Tridion Cache Service
    • Tridion UGC Community Service
    • Tridion UGC Moderation Service
    • Tridion Content Service
    • Tridion Deployer Service
    • Tridion Deployer Worker Service
    • Tridion Session Preview Service
    • Tridion Session Content Service
    • Tridion Context Service
    • Tridion Contextual Image Delivery Service
  3. Right-click the item and from the context menu that opens, select Restart.
  4. Alternatively, if your microservice runs as a Java process (true if you used start.ps1 to install it on a Windows machine or start.sh to install it on a non-Windows machine), do one of the following:
    • If you are running this Java process in the background, check your Task Manager or process manager for a Java process and kill it.
    • If you are running this Java process in a window or console, close the window or console.
  5. Run start.ps1 or start.sh again, with the same parameters as you originally used.
