Managing service instances 43
2. Browse to the service for which you want to start an instance. In the List pane select the service instance.
3. In the List pane toolbar, click the Start button.
The instance starts running.
Stopping service instances
Stop the service instance if it is not needed. This frees up the system resources. Some times you need to stop and
start a service instance after making some changes in its properties. For example, when you add an alias to a
retriever instance, you need to stop and start the retriever instance and all the dispatcher instances for that
partition.
To stop a service instance
1. In the Tree pane, browse to System > Partition > Your Partition > Services.
2. Browse to the service for which you want to stop an instance. In the List pane select the service instance.
3. In the List pane toolbar, click the Stop button.
The instance stops running.
Adding aliases to retriever instances
You can start the retriever instance only after you add an alias to the retriever instance. A retriever instance can
have any number of aliases, but one alias can be associated with only one instance.
To add aliases to a retriever instance
1. In the Tree pane, browse to System > Partition > Your Partition > Services > Email > Retriever.
2. In the List pane, select the retriever instance.
3. In the Properties pane, go to the Input tab and select the aliases to be associated with this instance.
4. Click the Save button.
5. Stop and start the retriever instance. The retriever picks emails from the alias only after you restart the
retriever instance.
6. Also, stop and start all the dispatcher instances for the partition.
Important: More than one Service Instance cannot be started on
a partition, except for Retriever, Dispatcher, and Rules.
