Starting and stopping stand-alone servers

You can start and stop stand-alone catalog and container servers with scripts or the embedded server API.

Before you begin

If you are starting or stopping servers in a stand-alone environment that is using an external client security provider, you must set the CLIENT_AUTH_LIB environment variable before you run the start and stop scripts. For more information about setting this environment variable, see Starting secure servers in a stand-alone environment.

[Version 8.6 and later]

About this task

The start and stop scripts that you use for you environment depend on the type of transport mechanism that you are using:
  • If you have an enterprise data grid that uses the IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) transport, use the startXsServer or stopXsServer scripts.
  • If you have only Java applications that use the Object Request Broker (ORB) transport, use the startOgServer or stopOgServer scripts.
    [Version 8.6 and later]Deprecated featureDeprecated: The startOgServer and stopOgServer commands start servers that use the Object Request Broker (ORB) transport mechanism. The ORB is deprecated, but you can continue using these scripts if you were using the ORB in a previous release. The IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) transport mechanism replaces the ORB. Use the startXsServer and stopXsServer scripts to start and stop servers that use the XIO transport.
