Disabling a Deployed Application

Disabling a Deployed Application

Disable an application to temporarily take it out of service, for example, during application updates. (See Updating a Deployed Application.)

Prior to disabling a deployed application, implement a redirect mechanism for the application phone number. This can be done either with a new Start page setting, or (in a distributed environment) by using a PBX unit to reroute calls to and from each TAS computer as needed.

To disable an application

  1. Open the MMC Administration console. (For instructions, see Administering Speech Server Using MMC.)

  2. In the console tree, expand Microsoft Speech Server and then expand the applicable group. (See Creating or Removing a Group.)

  3. In the details pane, double-click the Web server where the application is deployed.

  4. In Application Manifest URL, select the application to disable, and clear the Enabled check box.

Remarks

When an application has been disabled, Speech Application Deployment Service (SADS) temporarily removes it from the dynamically generated SESManifest.aspx. If any configuration changes are made to SES, the cache is invalidated. Also, explicitly clearing the cache when an application has been disabled unloads all the associated application resources. Any calls in progress to the application that is disabled will be completed. For more information, see Clearing Cached Resources for Speech Engine Services.
