The Adabas RESTful administration provides a system service for starting the daemon during startup. The service is started with a specific user, and all database containers, configuration files and log files are created with this user.

The system service scripts provide the possibility to start, stop, remove and install the system service. The script is called system_service.sh (on Linux) and system_service.bat (on Windows).

Please be aware that the user who starts the Adabas RESTful server will be the user that works on the offline methods on the database container. Online activities are performed using the login id that is used to connect to the Adabas RESTful server. This user id is displayed in the user queue of the database.
