You can resubmit a root-level service when the audit logging is configured to log the input pipeline for the service in the audit log. The service can have any status. For details about configuring audit logging, see webMethods Service Development Help.

To resubmit a service, an Integration Server remote server alias is required and the default Integration Server alias must exist and be unaltered. The default alias is used to resubmit a service when the original node on which the service was submitted is down.

When you resubmit a service, service monitoring changes the status of the service to Resubmitted. Service monitoring then starts a new instance of the service and sets its status to Started. Service monitoring uses the context ID of the original service as the parent context ID of the new instance of the service. All data about the resubmission is logged for the new instance of the service.
