No you should not call activate/deactivate yourself, these are intended to be called by the framework.
Instead, represent the remote process as a service, then bind the service into your DS component using a mandatory reference.

The activate methods waits for the remote process to come up and then establishes communication. If that remote process goes down I need to go through the same process that the activate method uses to establish communication. I haven't been able to find any information on restarting a Service Component. Can I programatically restart a Service Component, or would it be better to call deactivate() and activate() on the same Service Component? Thanks.
