NOTE: The cold-start option clears any Job information stored in the Local Repository (Local-Repository.mdb) on the target Server. If there are any Jobs running against this target Server (displayed in the AppManager Operator Console in a Running status), the cold-start may cause these Jobs to stop and may generate an Event message with a "MC Can't Locate Job" error. If this should occur, simply restart the Jobs in question to populate the Job information back to the Local Repository.
