Starting/stopping service and applying changed settings to running service

Service connector can be started and stopped at any given point when the administrator determines that a change must be applied.

Starting and stopping of the service connector service can not only be restarted using Microsoft Tools but also via the administrative console of the application as well.

At the bottom of the administrative console, the state of the service is displayed. Possible values are unknown and the states of Windows services (starting, started, stopping, stopped, etc.).

Applying changed settings to running service it is possible to apply changed settings to the running service, which means that the service doesn’t need to be restarted to use the new settings. Depending on which configuration has changed, the injection of the new settings will cause a full, a partly or even no re-initialization of the service. For example, changing the URL of the EWS endpoint a full re-initialization while turning the logging on (or off) a partial re-initialization of the service.

After the injection, the configuration changes are added to the command queue of connector for Domino and processed after the connector has finished its current tasks. Typically it won't take more than a few seconds until the new settings are applied by the connector. Information on the (re)initialization progress and result are displayed at the bottom of the dialogue box along with a progress bar.
