Stopping the Event Server service

When installing MIP plug-ins in the Event Server, first you must stop the Event Server service and then, afterward, restart it. However, while the service is stopped, many areas of the VMS system will not function:

No events or alarms are stored in the Event Server. However, system and device events still trigger actions, for example start recording.
XProtect Access, XProtect LPR, and XProtect Transact do not work in the configuration or in XProtect Smart Client.
Analytic events do not work.
Generic events do not work.
No alarms are triggered.
In XProtect Smart Client, map view items, alarm list view items, and the Alarm Manager workspace do not work.
MIP plug-ins in the Event Server cannot run.
MIP plug-ins in Management Client and XProtect Smart Client do not work correctly.
