SMS_EXECUTIVE restarts

Question

Good Morning

When should the sms_executive service on the primary server should be restarted?
How often?
what about

• sms_notification_server
• sms_site_component_manager
• sms_site_vss_writer

I am asking as often when collection does not refresh, deployment hang it is the resolution took... is it normal?
Which logs should be reviewed?

Thanks,
Dom

Answer 1

There's no reason to ever manually perform or schedule a restart for any of these services.

You need to troubleshoot the core issue you are describing or open a support case to help you with this.

The log file for collection evaluation is collevel.log on the primary site server.

"Deployment hang" is far too generic to point you in any direction for troubleshooting.
