Restoring databases: stopping iMIS services

iMIS services should always be running unless you need to restore the iMIS database from a backup. You must temporarily stop Asi* services before attempting to restore the iMIS database; otherwise, they can lock the database and prevent the restoration.

• AsiWorkflow15: During installation, iMIS 15 creates a service called AsiWorkflow15 on every appserver. This service manages processes defined in iMIS Process Manager.
• AsiPublishing15: A service called AsiPublishing15 exists on every host where you performed a Complete install or a Custom install of the Publishing Service. This service, used by WCM and e-CM, does the following:
  • Generates HTML files
  • Copies uploaded content files to a web-accessible folder
  • Deletes files associated with deleted content
  • Marks published content as "published" and makes it live on the web server
