Impact of Running Only appian_services_stop Without Full Shutdown Sequence

Hi everyone,

We recently encountered performance issues in our development environment and requested a restart. Before the full sequence could be executed, we have ran only:

Code: appian_services_stop
followed by starting it again without stopping the other components:
appian_appserver_stop  
appian_searchserver_stop
appian_services_stop

appian_dataserver_stop

We’d like to understand from the community:

  • What are the potential risks or side effects of restarting only appian_services_stop?

  • Could this lead to instability or partial recovery?

  • Is there any known impact on data integrity, indexing, or service coordination?

Appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.

Thanks,
