I'm new to Sharepoint and need to optimize the powershell script for auto-installing the solution in Sharepoint server. Currently the pre-written script does following:

  • Uninstall-SPSolution
  • Remove-SPSolution
  • Install-SPSolution

For each of these operations, it waits to stop timer job also. Will it make any issue if I replace all there using Update-SPSolution call? Will it update the xml and resource files with this call?

  • I found in Sharepoint logs that OWSTimer.exe resets the Aplication Pool when a solution is deployed, will it stop the application pool to get recycled?
