Does anyone have a script to restart task agent in Epicor 10?

Epicor ERP 10
1

Hello All,

Every time windows updates occur and our servers are restarted, Epicor stops processing print jobs. The servers restart at 3AM and we were wondering if anyone has a script we can run to restart the task agent automatically so we do not have to wake up to do it. Does anyone have a script to restart the task agent?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Respectfully,

Utah Taylor

I would set the task agent to a delayed start. That should allow it to restart by itself after a restart.

Depending on your version of Epicor

NET STOP EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.500.0
NET START EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.500.0

NET STOP EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.400.0
NET START EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.400.0

etc…

Task Agent is a windows server. You can create a windows task to run one of the following 2 commands in a .bat file maybe.

Option 1: service control command

USAGE:
sc servername [command] [service name] option1 option2…

EXAMPLE:
sc \servername start EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.500.0

Option 2. net command

USAGE:
NET START [service]

EXAMPLE:
NET START EpicorICETaskAgent3.1.500.0

Or set the service to Start Automatic, or Automatic Delayed Start, as mentioned by @jkane
