Start and Stop on OpenVMS

The automatic start-up is not activated during the installation on VMS. The administrator must add a call to the @unistart command in the file SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to start the server.

The starting and stopping procedures must be carried out under the user account that is the owner/administrator of the instance.

Start

Load the logical environment for the Dollar Universe instance with the command:

@unienv.com

Start the Company with the command:

@uni_dir_exec:unistart

Stop

Load the logical environment for the Dollar Universe instance with the command:

@unienv.com

Stop the Company with the command:

@uni_dir_exec:unistop

This procedure stops all Dollar Universe processes and engines, even if some were not started.

Check

To verify if an instance is started or stopped, run the command unicheckstart. Its syntax is as follows:

unicheckstart [-s server_code] [-m mode] [-t timeout]

• -s server_code

  Optional. Incompatible with -m. Enter the code of the server to check: IOX, CDX, BVX, DQX, EEX, IOA, CDA, BVA, IOS, CDS, BVS, IOI, CDI, BVI.

  If the tested server is not started, the command will run the test every second until the end of the timeout.

• -m mode

  Optional. Incompatible with -s. The only authorized value is “full”.

  If a process is not started, the command will run the test every second until the end of the timeout.

• -t timeout

  Timeout in seconds, (5 seconds by default)

If used without arguments, the command will verify if at least one process is started. The timeout will therefore have no impact.

Example:

unicheckstart -m full -t 20

Verifies that all servers are started and repeats the check until the 20 second timeout has completed if one server is not started.

Return codes:

In default mode:

• 268435458 (%X10000002): all servers are stopped.
• 1: at least one server is running.

In "full" mode:

• 268435458 (%X10000002): one server is not stopped.
• 1: all servers are running.
