On Windows:

On a Windows system, the Event Server and Message Queue are installed as Windows Services and will start automatically when Windows starts.  If you wish to stop the Event Server or the Message Queue, go to the Windows Services manager, select the service you wish to stop and select Stop from the Action menu item.  

 

On Unix:

On a Linux/Unix system, the Event Server and Message Queue can be started and stopped with start and stop parameter.  

The syntax for the Message Queue is:

./mqserver [start|stop|status]

The syntax for the Event Server is:

./eventserver [start|stop|status]

 

The status parameter displays whether or not the server is running.  If the server is already running when you pass in the start parameter, the server will first be stopped and then restarted.

 

Note: The Message Queue should be started before the Event Server and the Adabas nucleus that is involved in replication.  If the Message Queue is not started first, error messages will appear in the log files indicating that either the EP or the Controller could not contact the Message Queue.  These messages will continue to appear until the Message Queue is started.  When stopping services, the Message Queue should be stopped last.
