Configuring › How to Configure CA Workflow › Start and Stop CA Workflow

Start and Stop CA Workflow

You must first install and configure CA SDM servers before installing CA Workflow. The default CA SDM Tomcat is automatically configured, started and stopped by the CA SDM daemon manager. The pdm_tomcat_nxd command line utility can be used to start and stop the Tomcat instance as well.

Follow these steps:

1. (Applicable only for conventional configuration) Configure specific processes to be started on the secondary server.
   1. Run pdm_edit (on the primary server).
   2. Recycle the CA SDM services.

      This will version control specific environment variables to a secondary server that are required to install and run CA Workflow

2. Install and configure CA Workflow on the following server, depending on your CA SDM configuration:
   • Conventional: Primary or secondary servers
   • Advanced availability: Any one of the application servers
3. Run pdm_tomcat_nxd -d start -t CAWF

   This manually starts CA Workflow.

   Note: Run pdm_tomcat_nxd -d stop -t CAWF to stop CA Workflow.

4. Install CAWF options on the following server, depending on your CA SDM configuration:
   • Conventional: Primary server
   • Advanced availability: Background server

   This allows CA Workflow to start and stop automatically, and allows communications between CA SDM and CA Workflow.
