Excel calculation Services Fail to start : SharePoint


Issue: We noticed today that the Excel calculation services were not running and we were receiving an error as 


“An error has occurred. Please contact your system administrator if this problem persists."

The SCOM were throwing too many errors as

Alert: Error communicating with Excel Calculation Services
Source: spmwprodweb2
Path: spmwprodweb2.nam.nsroot.net
Last modified time: Alert description: Event ID 5240 from Source Office SharePoint Server on agent computer spmwprodweb2.nam.nsroot.net has triggered this Alert Description: There was an error in communicating with Excel Calculation Services 

There were no application logs in the event viewer related to these errors.

STEPS Performed to correct the issue:

1.       Stopped and started the Excel calculation service.
2.       Ran stsadm –o execadmsvcjobs 

Resolution

We had to switch the service role to another server so service was stopped at One Application server and Started on another Application server.
