Business value
A Commerce Scale Unit (CSU) restart can help to mitigate transient or intermittent live-site reliability issues for customers. Having the ability to restart as a self-serve capability allows you to mitigate issues faster.
Feature details
This feature allows IT pro users to self-initiate the restart of CSU from Dynamics 365 Lifecycle Services. This restart capability can help to mitigate transient or intermittent live-site reliability issues for customers.
This feature allows IT pro users to restart CSU in one of two ways:
- Default: By default, when restarting CSU, the system waits for all active connections to be closed and then restarts CSU service instances to minimize disruption to active connections.
- Immediate restart: This option force-terminates all active connections and immediately starts the restart process. This option typically results in up to 5 minutes of downtime for dependent clients, such as point of sale (POS) or e-commerce.
