Parallel Data Warehouse services status for Analytics Platform System (PDW)
The Parallel Data Warehouse Services Status page in the Microsoft Analytics Platform System Configuration Manager shows the current status of all SQL Server PDW services, and provides the ability to stop and start the PDW services. This is the only supported method for starting and stopping the PDW services. Individual components or services cannot be started independently.
Start or stop the appliance services
To start the appliance services, select Start Appliance.
To stop the appliance services, select Stop Appliance.
It is not necessary to select Apply when starting and stopping the appliance services by using Start Appliance and Stop Appliance.
Note
Stopping the PDW Region also stops the PDW agent (sqldwagent) on the nodes. The PDW agent requires the PDW control node to report health monitoring.
