Machine Agent and Restarting Application

Hello,

Do I need to stop the machine agent before restarting my application and thus starting the machine agent after my application has been restarted? Or can I can simply leave the machine agent running while I restart my application?

Some info:

I have implemented the machine agent as a service

My application is a Java based application on a windows server.

Thanks for your help,

RIcardo

Once your machine agent has associated with the respective java agent, you can start/stop the java application without worrying about machine agent.
