Restarting a local, independent integration server by using the Toolkit

You can use the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit to restart a local, independent integration server.

Before you begin

Your installed version of IBM App Connect Enterprise must be 12.0.10.0 or later to be able to use this function.

Create and start an independent integration server by using a wizard in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit. For more information, see steps 1 and 2 of Creating, starting, and stopping a local, independent integration server by using the Toolkit. The restart function is not available for independent integration servers that were started by the IntegrationServer command.

About this task

This task describes how to restart a local, independent integration server by using a menu option in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.

Procedure

Restart a local, independent integration server in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit by completing the following steps:

  1. In the Integration Explorer view, right-click an independent integration server that was created and started within the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.
  2. Click Restart to stop and restart the integration server. A message is displayed, which includes the location of the console.log.
    If you are running an independent integration server, you have the option of optimizing the integration server by running the ibmint optimize server command. If you want to optimize the integration server, run the command on the command console before you issue a restart. For example, to optimize an integration server with the work directory C:\myServerWorkDir, run the following command:
    ibmint optimize server --work-directory C:\myServerWorkDir

    The ibmint optimize server command is a static analysis tool that scans all deployed resources in an integration server and generates the server.components.yaml file. Any IBM App Connect Enterprise components that are not represented in the deployed message flows are set to false. When you start the integration server, all components that are set to false in the server.components.yaml file are prevented from starting up, thus increasing startup speed and reducing memory load. For more information about the ibmint optimize server command, see ibmint optimize server command.
