title: Is it okay to restart the CRM Asynchronous Processing Service at any time?
body: <p>I just finished registering a custom workflow with the plugin registration tool. My custom workflow shows up in the possible steps I can choose when creating a workflow, but when I select it I get a generic "An error has occurred" (with the "Download Log File" button grayed out). </p>
  
  <p>From <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15854740/why-do-we-need-to-restart-the-crm-server-after-registering-the-custom-workflow-u">this</a> I gathered that I need to restart the CRM Asynchronous Processing Service. Is this something I can do at any time? E.g. will any information or running workflows be lost, or will those be picked up again once it is restarted?</p>
  
  <p>Our server admin also told me there are two such services, one with "Maintenance" in its name. Do both need to be restarted?</p>
  
  <p>Or is my problem not even related to this?<br>
  Thanks for any  help. I'm pretty new to CRM.</p>
