Starting the TADDM server

If you chose the Start at Boot option at installation, the TADDM server automatically starts during every system boot.

Important: A local or remote database server must be started and running before the TADDM server is started. The TADDM server cannot initialize or run properly if the database is not available.

To manually start the TADDM server, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in as the non-root user that was defined during the installation process.
  2. Open a command prompt window.
  3. Go to the directory where you installed the TADDM server.
  4. Use one of the following commands to run the start script:
    • For Linux®, AIX®, and Linux on System z® operating systems: 
      $COLLATION_HOME/bin/control start
    • For Windows operating systems:
      %COLLATION_HOME%\bin\startServer.bat
    When starting the server on a Windows system, you might see the following timeout error message: Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. This error occurs because the TADDM server can take longer than the allowed time to start. You can disregard this message; the startup process continues until it completes.
    If you installed the TADDM server with root privileges, you can manually start the TADDM server by running the following script: 
    /etc/init.d/collation start
