The Parallel Data Warehouse Services Status page in the Microsoft Analytics Platform System Configuration Manager shows the current status of all SQL Server PDW services, and provides the ability to stop and start the PDW services. This is the only supported method for starting and stopping the PDW services. Individual components or services cannot be started independently.
To launch the Configuration Manager, see Launch the Configuration Manager in Analytics Platform System.
