restart.bat doesn't restart the MID ServerIssue You may find the restart.bat batch file in a windows MID Server install's agent folder doesn't actually restart the MID Server. At the time of writing, the Rome to Utah docs state:https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/utah-servicenow-platform/page/product/mid-server/task/t_InstallMIDServerAsWinService.html"If the MID Server is running, execute the restart.bat file."ReleaseSince Rome.CauseThe restart.bat file was added in Rome specifically for Containerized MID Server deployments. All it does is write a line containing "RESTRT" to the ".container" file in the parent folder, above the agent folder. This presumably signals to the container to restart, and is not a signal to the MID Server service/application to restart. A request to correct and clarify the documentation has been submitted.ResolutionYou could command the MID Sever to restart from the MID Server's form in the instanceYou can use the Windows Services control panel applet to restart the service.From the command line, you can run:bin\mid.bat restart From the command line, you can run these commands using the service name seen in agent\conf\wrapper_override.conf:net stop "snc_mid_<mid server name>"net start "snc_mid_<mid server name>"
