Activate the Registries

After you install all instances of DevTest Server, you start the Enterprise Dashboard process on the first DevTest Server you installed. Then you start the Registry process on that DevTest Server and every other DevTest Server. The activation of the registries does not occur immediately. For example, if you restart the registries between 10:15 and 10:30, the activation occurs at 11:00.

Verify that a registry from each new and existing DevTest Server displays on the Enterprise Dashboard.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the Enterprise Dashboard Server.
   1. Log on to the host where the Enterprise Dashboard is installed.
   2. Start the Enterprise Dashboard Server.

      Windows users can select Enterprise Dashboard Server from the Enterprise Dashboard option in the Start menu. Alternatively, navigate to the LISA_HOME\bin directory and start EnterpriseDashboard.exe.

2. If you have existing registries, configure the existing registries.
3. Start each registry.
   1. Log on to the host where a DevTest Server is installed.
   2. Start the registry.

      Windows users start the registry from the Start menu (under DevTest Solutions) or from the Registry.exe in the bin directory under the DevTest Server installation directory.

   3. Repeat these steps for each registry.

      Note: After this property is set, the registry does not push data to the Enterprise Dashboard until the top of the next hour. For example, if you set this property at 1:35pm, the registry data does not appear until 2:00pm.
