Starting Integration Server in Safe Mode
If Integration Server is having trouble starting because it or one of its packages cannot connect to an external resource, you can stop Integration Server and then start it in safe mode. When you start Integration Server in safe mode, it does not connect to any external resources, including databases. As a result, when Integration Server is in safe mode, it writes audit logging data associated with the IS Core Audit and Process Audit functions to flat files on the Integration Server instead of to an external database. In addition, when in safe mode, Integration Server loads only the WmRoot package; all other packages are inactive. When you restart Integration Server after you diagnose and correct the problem, Integration Server resumes audit logging for IS Core Audit and Process Audit functions to the external database and loads all enabled packages.
Important:
Use safe mode for diagnostic or troubleshooting purposes only. Do not run any regular Integration Server tasks or Designer while in safe mode. It will return unpredictable results.
If Integration Server could not connect to a Broker or database, check the appropriate connection parameters and modify them as necessary. For instructions, see the webMethods Audit Logging Guide.
If a package such as Trading Networks Server or the webMethods SAP Adapter could not connect to an external resource, open Integration Server Administrator and go to the Packages > Management > Activate Inactive Packages page. In the Inactive Packages list, select the package and click Activate Package. Integration Server puts the package into the state it would have been in if you had started Integration Server normally. For example, if the package would have been enabled, Integration Server loads and enables it. Check and modify the connection parameters using the instructions in the appropriate guide.
