Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
AdminService stops but does not restart when using the Restart option in Windows Services
Attempting to stop and immediately restart the AdminService
AdminService fails to restart with a Windows error message
The AdminService for <Progress version> service on local computer started and then stopped
Windows Task Manager shows that java.exe processes are still running
AdminService will restart if java.exe processes are killed
Problem does not occur when stopping the AdminService and waiting for a short period before attempting to restart it
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
Windows
CAUSE:
The AdminService process itself (admsrvc.exe) has limited functionality. When AdminService is started, admsrvc.exe launches java.exe processes, which do the real work of launching the configurations defined in Progress Explorer, and then indicates that the service is started. When the AdminService is stopped, admsrvc.exe sends a signal to the java.exe processes telling them to shut down and then closes itself, indicating that the service is stopped. Since this process is asynchronous, it can happen that the AdminService will appear to be stopped whilst the java.exe processes are still working. These processes can block subsequent attempts to restart the AdminService.
FIX:
Allow a short time period between stopping and restarting the AdminService
