Start the Primary Server

Every CA SDM installation has one primary server that handles basic product functionality.

Important! If your installation includes one or more secondary servers, you must start the secondary servers before starting the primary server.

Follow these steps:

(Windows) Select Control Panel, CA SDM Server service and click Start. You can start the service manually each time you need it, or you can configure it to start automatically like any other Windows service.
(UNIX) Use pdm_init from the command line.
