CentraSite consists of two main components: CentraSite Registry Repository and the Software AG Runtime for the CentraSite Application Server Tier.

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 procedures have 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.
