CentraSite consists of two main components: Software AG Runtime for the CentraSite Application Server Tier and CentraSite Registry Repository.
The Software AG Runtime for the CentraSite Application Server Tier in general is started automatically when you boot the machine where this component is installed. But, the CentraSite Registry Repository requires you to make a manual startup.
The startup procedure for CentraSite Registry Repository requires some time to complete (depending on your configuration, this can be seconds or minutes), so you should wait until the startup procedure has completed before you begin normal operations.
If you try to start CentraSite components such as CentraSite Control before the CentraSite Registry Repository is 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
On Windows, the CentraSite Registry Repository runs as a Windows
service. You can use the Windows Services application that is provided with the
operating system to start and stop the service.
For other operating systems, and as an alternative method on Windows, you can start and stop the CentraSite Registry Repository from the command line:
To start the CentraSite Registry Repository from the command
line
Enter the following command on the command line:
inoadmin start CentraSite
To stop the CentraSite Registry Repository from the command line
Use one of the following commands to stop the CentraSite Registry Repository:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
inoadmin shutdown
CentraSite |
This option terminates the CentraSite
Registry Repository session normally and waits for currently active processing
to finish. The waiting time in seconds can be set with the server property
Maximum Transaction Duration (see
Repository Configuration
Parameters).
|
inoadmin cancel
CentraSite |
This option terminates the CentraSite Registry Repository immediately. User transactions that have not finished processing are rolled back. |
inoadmin abort
CentraSite |
This option causes an emergency shutdown of the CentraSite Registry Repository. All processing is stopped immediately. Crash dump files will be written. This method will cause an automatic repair ("autorepair") the next time the CentraSite Registry Repository is started, and should only be used as a last resort. |
You can also use Command Central to start and stop the CentraSite Registry Repository. The CentraSite Registry Repository is listed as a process in the instances list of your chosen Command Central environment, and you can use standard operations in the Command Central interface to start and stop the process. Refer to the Command Central Help guide for details.
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.
