I think we’re on one of the 8.0.3 nightlies, maybe the rc1. We have a scale out architecture. In the office when we only had one gateway we could restart tags. On site we are developing on a gateway that uses a remote tag provider to connect to the tag gateway. If we try to restart a tag from the dev gateway we get a Bad\_Unsupported error. Is that expected? Is it a bug? Or is there a setting somewhere on the gateway for it? ---

It’s unsupported right now. We would need to add a “tag restart” remote system call to be able to do this. It could happen down the line, but I have no idea when. ---

So for scale out architecture where does development usually occur? I don’t think you want engineers developing on the tag gateway as it loads up the gateway with quite a bit of extra work. We have had to restart tags quite a bit as we copy and rename them, which seems like a normal development activity. Maybe it isn’t a big deal, but it takes away a feature we have had to lean on quite a bit since 8.0. ---

I want to bump this feature as I’m needing it as well for my scale-out architecture. I don’t really want to have to open a Designer to the backend project every time i want to restart tags 😕 ---

Bump. It’s silly how you can do everything with tags except “Restartaring” them from a remote gateway. You can delete them, but you can’t restart them? - Cmon Inductive! This should have been filed under a bug ticket imo. ---

Has this feature been added to any recent releases? Is it planned to be added in any future release? ---

Something I've found is disabling and then enabling a tag restarts it as well and can be done remotely. ---

Yes, having the same problem now. ---

Hi! Any update on this? Thanks. Maybe even a specific error message in the meantime, because I had no idea what the issue was until I happened across this post.. ---

I also woud like to have this feature. Open each designer to restart a tag is waste of time.
