Refreshing the Services

This topic describes refreshing the Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) services as the final step in deploying a speech application to MSS.

Use the MSS snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to refresh the services, or write script against the MSS WMI classes.

To refresh services by using the MMC

Perform the following step for each service (TAS or SES) on each computer in the deployment group:

• Right-click the service name, click All Tasks, and click Clear Cached Resources.

To refresh services by using WMI scripting

• Call the InvalidateCache method of the SpeechServer and TelephonyServer classes, for each service on each computer in the deployment.

For more information about the supported WMI classes, methods and properties for MSS, refer to the MSS documentation.

Refreshing the services does the following:

• For Telephony Application Services (TAS), reloads the Start page for any idle SALT interpreters, and recompiles and re-caches any cached application prompt files or scripts.
• For Speech Engine Services (SES), reloads the application manifest file and all associated resources.

Once the services are refreshed, call the application to verify a successful deployment.
