Whether your OPSSQL Database resides on an Oracle or MS SQL platform, cold database backups are sometimes necessary. The database has to go offline when a cold backup is to take place. OPSSQL NT services such as OPSAdoCalc and OPSSQL_GNR_Server constantly require database connectivity. If the database connectivity is broken while they are running (database goes offline), these services will need to be restarted.

OPS Systems has developed a simple utility that allows you to automatically restart NT Services when the OPS SQL database comes online after a cold backup. Info on how to configure this utility (called OPSSQL Service Bouncer) can be found here.
