Starting and stopping the Perl engine on Windows

Edit online

Use the Rational® Build Forge® user interface to start and stop the Perl engine. Starting and stopping the Perl engine is always performed manually.

Starting the Perl engine
  1. On the Build Forge® user interface, enable the Perl engine:
    1. Click Administration > System.
    2. In the Default to the Java Master Job Controller field, select No.
      Note: If a Java engine job is running, you cannot change the value for the Default to the Java Master Job Controller field to No. Conversely, the same is true for Perl engine jobs.
  2. From a command line (Powershell under Windows 2012), go to the Build Forge® installation path and enter this command: bfengine -p to start the Perl engine.
Note: You must start the Perl engine under PowerShell for Windows 2012.

Stopping the Perl engine

To stop the Perl engine, manually close the window where the engine is running.
