Starting Integration Server on UNIX
Keep the following points in mind when starting Integration Server on UNIX using the startup.sh script file:
*Run the startup.sh script only when logged in as a non-root user. Running the script as root might reduce the security of your system.
*The server can consume more files and sockets on a UNIX system than on other systems. Therefore, if you are running the server on a UNIX system, Software AG recommends that run it with at least 1024 file descriptors. You can increase the number of available file descriptors by entering the following command from the UNIX command prompt before starting the server:
ulimit -n number
*To start Integration Server on UNIX
1. Navigate to the following directory:
Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\bin
where instance_name is the name of the Integration Server instance.
Note:
The startup.bat/sh and shutdown.bat/sh scripts contained in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\bin directory are deprecated. Software AG recommends the use of the scripts contained in the Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\bin directory. If you will manage Integration Server through Command Central, you must use the scripts located in the Software AG_directory \profiles\IS_instance_name\bin directory.
2. Execute the startup.sh script file.
Note:
If your Integration Server has been configured to request a master password for outbound password encryption, you will be prompted for this password in a popup window or from the server console. Refer to Managing Outbound Passwords for more information about this password.
