Running Server Components as Services

If you plan to leave the server components running most of the time, you can use the service executables in the LISA_HOME\bin directory.

The default names of the server components are used when started from the command line without a specific name. The lisa.properties file is installed with the following properties and default values:

• lisa.registryName=Registry
• lisa.coordName=Coordinator
• lisa.simulatorName=Simulator
• lisa.vseName=VSE

If you want to override a default value for any of these properties, specify a new property value in your local.properties file.

We recommend that you start and stop the components in the order shown.

To start server components as services:

Enter the following commands:

EnterpriseDashboardService start

RegistryService start

PortalService start

BrokerService start

CoordinatorService start

SimulatorService start

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService start

To stop server components as services:

Enter the following commands:

SimulatorService stop

CoordinatorService stop

VirtualServiceEnvironmentService stop 

BrokerService stop

PortalService stop

RegistryService stop

EnterpriseDashboardService stop

On UNIX, to configure the services to start automatically, consult your system administrator.

If DevTest Workstation started the report database (Derby), the report database shuts down when DevTest Workstation shuts down.

If the coordinator started the database (Derby), the database does not shut down when coordinator shuts down.
