Stop Services

Description

This operation stops the desired services on all reachable server machines in the cluster. This operation requires three properties: folder name, service name, and service type. Once a service has been stopped, it cannot service any incoming requests.

Note:

Clusters have been deprecated. The use of clusters for new deployments is strongly discouraged, and existing deployments are advised to migrate away from use of clusters as part of ongoing maintenance and upgrades.
