We're are working with database team to test a script  designed to automatically restart database if server goes down unexpectedly , such as during a power outage. As part of this test , the DB team has requested a restart of webMethods servers to validate the script's behavior.

We're currently facing issues to shutting down Terracotta (embedded in webMethods's the Integration server) and Universal messaging (UM) server (embedded in MWS server) 

could you please confirm if it's necessary to shut down terracotta and UM for this test , or if stopping just Integration server and MywebMethods server is sufficient ?

appreciate your guidance 

Thank you !

If Terracotta and Universal Messaging are not connected to DB then there should be no reason to restart these components. So question is are these connected to DB and if yes, then what is the purpose to connect? 

Ideally, to make the DB layer highly available there has to be a clustered setup to mitigate such power outages.
