Order to Restart Cognos BI Servers in a Distributed Environment

Troubleshooting


Problem

What is the order to restart Cognos BI servers in a distributed environment?

Resolving The Problem


Restarting the content store database server is not required but is required to be up and running in order for the content manager to connect to it.

First, stop the servers in the following order:

  1. Gateway (if not a pure gateway server and has a dispatcher installed)
  2. Dispatchers (includes Planning Application and Job Servers)
  3. Secondary Content Managers (if applicable)
  4. Primary Content Manager

Then start up the servers in the reverse order:
  1. Primary Content Manager
  2. Secondary Content Managers (if applicable)
  3. Dispatchers (includes Planning Job and Application Servers)
  4. Gateway

Client machines with Framework Manager, Transformer, PowerPlay, Contributor Admin Console, Planning Analyst, etc do not require to be restarted.
