Document conversion load balancer unavailable

Issue: Document conversion load balancer unavailable

Summary:   The Document Conversions Load Balancer Service manages the availability of document converters. Stopping the service stops the document conversion process and turns off the Document Conversions Launcher Service. To resume the document conversion process, you must restart the Document Conversions Load Balancer Service, and then start the Document Conversions Launcher Service.

Symptoms:   One or more of the following symptoms might appear:

1.     Documents are not being converted.

2.     Only one server seems to be converting documents.

3.     The Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is not running.

Cause:   The Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is no longer running. This can occur when an administrator unintentionally stops the service or the server runs out of RAM.

Resolution:   Restart the Document Conversions Load Balancer Service

1.    On the SharePoint Central Administration Home page, in the System Settings section, click Manage services on server.

2.    On the Services on Server page, click Document Conversions Load Balancer Service.

5.    In the Communication Scheme section, select the scheme that you want the load balancer to use for communication. The default is http.

6.    In the Port Number section, type the port number that you want the load balancer to use for communication. Choose a port number that is not used by other services on the server, but which is open in the firewall on the server.
