Starting and stopping portal server software
Restarting the Portal Server does not have a negative impact on the Data Collector, assuming that the Data Collector established an initial connection to the Portal Server. You do not need to restart the Data Collector after you restart the Portal Server. If the Data Collector is sending data at the time that the Portal Server becomes unavailable, the Data Collector receives an error, and then tries to send the information again. The Data Collector continues to retry and sends alerts until it can reconnect and retransmit.
