Check if Service Application is Running in SharePoint using PowerShell
Couple of times, I had to get the service application’s status prior performing activities such as: Stop and Start the service, Monitoring service application’s availability, etc. Here is how we can check if the service application is running / created using PowerShell.
PowerShell script to check service application’s status:
Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
#Display Name of the Service Application
$DisplayName="Managed Metadata Services"
#Get the Service Application from its Name
$ServiceApp = Get-SPServiceApplication | Where { $_.DisplayName -eq $DisplayName}
if($ServiceApp -ne $null)
{
#get the Service application status
$ServiceApp.Status
}
else
{
Write-Host "Service application either not found or not created!"
}
This script gives the service application’s current status. You can also get a service application from its type. Here is how:
#Type Name of the Service Application
$TypeName="Managed Metadata Service"
#Get the Service Application from its Type Name
$SeviceApp = Get-SPServiceApplication | Where {$_.TypeName -eq $TypeName}
Here is the Type Name of all service Applications:
| Type Name |
| Access Services Web Service Application |
| Access Services 2010 Web Service Application |
| App Management Service Application |
| Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application |
| Business Data Connectivity Service Application |
