Restart a Web App

In some situations, developers want to restart a site so that changes for source code or configurations are reflected on the site. The Web App restart feature in the DXP Management Portal helps developers resolve those cases.

Given a provisioned project in DXP, log in to the DXP Management Portal, go to the project details, and open the Troubleshoot tab.

📘

Note

The tab does not show when the project is in provisioning or decommissioning.

Select the environment and site to restart. Optionally, you can select "Restart one instance at a time" to kick off a rolling restart that restarts every load-balanced app instance sequentially instead of all at once. This will likely result in little to no downtime associated with the restart.

• If it is restarted, you will see a message like the following:

  Restarted the site {sitename} for the environment Integration successfully.

• Otherwise, an error message displays.

  An error occurred: The environment: undefined of project {project-id} is not found.

• A forbidden error message displays for users who do not have access rights to a specific environment.

  Forbidden. You cannot restart site {sitename} for the environment Production.
