Hi Chris,
I can confirm this is still on the Planning Analytics roadmap. I do not have an ETA to share.
I seem to recall that our cloud ops team can add a Windows scheduled task to restart the service for your TM1 database. Try opening a support ticket to request this.

Hi Stuart,
Thank you again for your reply. The same Cloud customer has asked again about this and, since it is now 2020, I thought I'd ask again!
Is there any timeline for scheduling automated restarts for Cloud PA servers?
Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,
I can confirm it's not possible to schedule a restart of the TM1 database on Planning Analytics on IBM Cloud. At this point in time it must be done manually. Scheduled restarts is on the roadmap for Planning Analytics Administration but won't happen in 2019.

Has anyone figured out how to do a (nightly) automated restart of a Cloud PA Server Instance?
According to the documentation, you can't use DownTime (as Cloud PA is run as a Windows Service).
You also cannot use Cognos Command Center (from a on-premises server) "Because the agent is not a Windows Administrator, you cannot use a Cognos Command Center task to start, stop, or restart the TM1 Server, which runs as a Windows service."
There doesn't seem to be any provision in Cloud PAA to set up an automatic restart.
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks,
Chris
