Manage Services
This section explains how to manage NCache services on server nodes, including starting, stopping, and restarting the Cache Service, Execution Service, and Bridge Service using the NCache Management Center or PowerShell.
Manage Cache Service on a Server Node
NCache Service controls the primary background processes (Daemon or Service) operating on a particular server node. Unlike starting a specific cache cluster, managing the NCache Service has an impact on the underlying runtime environment for all caches hosted on that node. You can manage (start/stop/restart) the NCache Service on a server node in a clustered cache by following the steps given below:
Using the NCache Management Center
You can manage (start/stop/restart) the Cache Service on a server node in a clustered cache by following the steps given below:
Start Cache Service
You can start the Cache service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to start services for. Against the Cache Name, click on View Details.
This opens the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Start Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Cache Service or select All to start all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service start.
Stop Cache Service
You can stop the Cache service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to stop services for. Against the cache name, click on View Details.
This opens the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Stop Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Execution Service or select All to stop all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service(s) stop.
Restart Cache Service
You can restart the Cache service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to restart services for. Against the cache name, click on View Details.
This opens up the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Restart Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Cache Service or select All to restart all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service restart.
Using PowerShell
Open a PowerShell window with administrative privileges (Run as Administrator) and execute the following platform commands:
Start Cache Service
To start the Cache service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Start-Service -Name "NCacheSvc"
Stop Cache Service
To stop the Cache service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Stop-Service -Name "NCacheSvc"
Restart Cache Service
To restart the Cache service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Restart-Service -Name "NCacheSvc"
Manage Execution Service on Server Node
NCache Execution Service controls the specialized background processes responsible for running server-side code, including Cache Startup Loaders, Read-Through/Write-Through providers, and custom entry processors on a particular server node. Unlike managing global cache operations, controlling the Execution Service directly impacts the background automation, data loading, and third-party data source integrations active on that node.
Using the NCache Management Center
You can manage (start/stop/restart) the Execution Service on a server node by following the steps given below:
Start Execution Service
You can start the Execution service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to start services for. Against the Cache Name, click on View Details.
This opens the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Start Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Execution Service or select All to start all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service start.
Stop Execution Service
You can stop the Execution service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to stop services for. Against the cache name, click on View Details.
This opens the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Stop Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Execution Service or select All to stop all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service(s) stop.
Restart Execution Service
You can restart the Execution service on a server node using the NCache Management Center, through the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache you want to restart services for. Against the cache name, click on View Details.
This opens up the detailed configuration page for the cache.
In the Server Nodes tab, check the desired server node IP, and click on the "..." button.
Click on Restart Service(s) and a sub-menu will open.
Select the Execution Service or select All to restart all the services.
You will receive a success notification upon cache service restart.
Using PowerShell
Open a PowerShell window with administrative privileges (Run as Administrator) and execute the following platform commands:
Start Execution Service
To start the Execution service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Start-Service -Name "NCExecutionSvc"
Stop Execution Service
To stop the Execution service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Stop-Service -Name "NCExecutionSvc"
Restart Execution Service
To restart the Execution service execute the following command in PowerShell:
Restart-Service -Name "NCExecutionSvc"
Bridge Service
The Bridge Service coordinates and manages data synchronization across geographically separated caches in a Multi-site Replication topology. You can manage the state of this service across your environment using either the NCache Management Center or PowerShell cmdlets as detailed below.

You can start the Bridge Service by following the steps below:
Using the NCache Management Center
You can start the Bridge service on a Bridge node using the following steps:
Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or
<server-ip>:8251.In the left navigation bar, click on Bridges. It will open a list of pre-existing Bridges. From the list, select the Bridge Name and go to View Details.
.
- Go to the Bridge Nodes section on the newly opened page and select the box against the Bridge node on which the service is to be started.
- Click on "...". Select Start Bridge Service and the service will be started successfully.

Using the NCache Management Center
In the NCache Management Center, click on Bridges in the left navigation bar. From the list, select the Bridge Name and click on View Details.
Go to the Bridge Nodes section on the newly opened page and select the box against the Bridge node on which the service is to be stopped.
