Hi Friends,

We have faced issue like Timeout , deadloack in JDBC Adapter and many issues . If we restart the XIPRD once the problem get solved .

<b> 1. Can you please suggest why do we need to restart teh XI Server ?

2. In what way it will be helpful for us ?

3. Will it clear any locks ? or any dump files ?

4. Is it recommended to star t and stop the sever ?</b>

Can you please give valuable replies as why should we restart the xi sevrer in particular period like once in a month like that

Regards.,

I would suggest there is something wrong with the Connector or system you are connecting to/from .

restarting the server could potentially have a negative impact on your business.

Try and extend a trace file/SQL Trace to try and see what is causing the issue. Look at a long term resolution than a quikc fix.

Remember - prevention is better than cure.

I have only ever restarted a server after scheduled maintenance - Operating system/Application patching.

1. Can you please suggest why do we need to restart teh XI Server ?

It is not done on the frequent basis until you fae some problems like file adapter not appearing in the adapter configuration.....none of the adaters are present in ID (EX)

it will only start the servicess or other things which were hanging or not responding state.....

2. In what way it will be helpful for us ?

ot moght e helpfull some times but not always...it depends on the probelm you are facing...lot of problems can be solved without restarting the server

3. Will it clear any locks ? or any dump files ?

Not sure

4. Is it recommended to star t and stop the sever ?

Not recomded to do it frequenlty without any valid reason (until you apply some patches etc)
