CentraSite components such as the CentraSite Registry Repository and the Software AG Runtime for the CentraSite Application Server Tier are in general started automatically when you boot the machine(s) where these components are installed.
The startup procedure for CentraSite Registry Repository and the CentraSite Application Server Tier requires some time to complete (depending on your configuration, this can be seconds or minutes), so you should wait until the startup procedures have completed before you begin normal operations.
In particular, the startup procedure of the CentraSite Registry Repository is launched at the end of the CentraSite installation process, so here you should also wait until the startup procedure has completed.
If you try to start CentraSite components such as CentraSite Control before the CentraSite Registry Repository and the Software AG Runtime are running, you will receive an error message indicating that one or more services are not available. If this happens, wait a few moments and try again.
A running CentraSite relies on a number of active software components. For CentraSite these typically would be:
Software AG CentraSite Registry Repository
For information on starting and stopping this component, see the
document Basic Operations.
Software AG Runtime
On Windows the Software AG Runtime runs as a service and can be
started and stopped using the Windows Administrative Tools.
On UNIX the Software AG Runtime can be stopped and started using the following scripts.
<SuiteInstallDir>/profiles/CTP/bin/sagctp<nn>.sh
stop
<SuiteInstallDir>/profiles/CTP/bin/sagctp<nn>.sh
start
where <nn> represents a product version number.
In case you need to install other products from Software AG you might be required to stop all running components. Check with the specific product's instructions.
On UNIX platforms, if you did not use sudo
to install CentraSite, you must register daemons and set file permissions by
running the script
<SuiteInstallDir>/bin/afterInstallAsRoot.sh as the
root user. This step will provide for the necessary startup procedures to be
installed.
On UNIX platforms, if you did not use sudo
to install
CentraSite, the rc
scripts, which are typically located under
the /etc directory, are not available. The services and
components can be started as described
above.
