There may be times where you need to stop a database instance from running. For example, if you chose an incorrect port for a database instance, you will need to stop that database instance before you can delete it. You would then need to create a new database instance with the correct port setting.
If you want to stop a database instance that has been registered as Windows service, you can use the Server Icon, ClearSCADA Service Manager, or Windows Services. If the database instance has not been registered as a Windows service, you can only stop it by using the Server Icon.
NOTE: If you are unsure whether a database instance has been registered as a Windows service, view the Details for the database instance (see Display Details of a Database Instance). If Register as Service is selected, the database instance has been registered as a Windows service.
- Using the Server Icon
- Run the Server Icon for a Database Instance (if it is not already running).
- Right-click on the Server Icon to display a context-sensitive menu.
- Select Shutdown Server.
- Using the ClearSCADA Service Manager
- Run the ClearSCADA Service Manager
- Select the Stop button for the database instance you want to stop.
- Using Windows Services:
- Run Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
- Right-click on the database instance you want to stop.
- From the context-sensitive menu, choose Stop.
NOTE: You can also use the Services settings to Pause and Resume the database instance.
