If you're just stopping everything, the order doesn't really matter a huge amount. The order for restarting is more important. Here's the order we use (we have all of those, plus a few others):

SAS [Config-Lev1] SASMeta - Metadata Server
SAS [Config-Lev1] Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server
SAS [Config-Lev1] Object Spawner
SAS Connect Spawner
SAS[config-Lev1]DIPJobRunner
SAS [Config-Lev1] JMS Broker on port 61616
SAS [Config-Lev1] Cache Locator on port 41415
SAS[Config-Lev1]httpd-WebServer
SAS [Config-Lev1] SASServer1_1 - WebAppServer
SAS [Config-Lev1] SAS Environment Manager
SAS [Config-Lev1] SAS Environment Manager Agent
SAS Deployment Agent

If you really want to adhere to a stopping order, just reverse this.

Interested that you don't have a SASServer2_1 Web Application Server? Our system uses that for SAS Studio and Environment Manager.

@nigel_Paiin,

What about OLAP Server service and SAS PC Files Server service.

Hi Nigel_Pain,

Will this be the correct order to start when I include "sas olap server service" and "Pc files services" or these don't matter.

SAS [Config-Lev1] SASMeta - Metadata Server
SAS [Config-Lev1] Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server

SAS[SAS-APP] SAS OLAP server

SAS [Config-Lev1] Object Spawner
SAS Connect Spawner
SAS[config-Lev1]DIPJobRunner
SAS [Config-Lev1] JMS Broker on port 61616
SAS [Config-Lev1] Cache Locator on port 41415
SAS[Config-Lev1]httpd-WebServer
SAS [Config-Lev1] SASServer1_1 - WebAppServer
SAS [Config-Lev1] SAS Environment Manager
SAS [Config-Lev1] SAS Environment Manager Agent
SAS Deployment Agent

Pc files services

I'm sorry @SASJR1, hadn't noticed the OLAP or PC Files Server services. I don't know about them because they aren't in our environment. At a guess, they won't be dependent on any others (especially PCFF) so chances are you could just put them in anywhere. After Metadata anyway, and possibly after the Object and Connect Spawners? @AndyForeman might be able to give you an answer? He's been working on a brilliant wee Powershell script for starting and stopping services in the correct order.

This is the documentation on start up / shutdown order:

Overview of Server Operation
https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/bicdc/9.4/bisag/p0d9d5nzmd8i4yn1usv2l22vpa7t.htm

The PC Files Server I don't think has any dependencies.

This order looks sensible to me. PC Files Server can start/stop at any time.

OLAP should start with other Compute-tier services... per official documentation, start after Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server but before Object Spawner.
