Starting AS4 Microservice

After you install AS4 Microservice, use command-line commands to start the application.

Before you begin

Before you start AS4 Microservice, you must decide how many members of the node that you want to start. You can start the entire node or you can start one member of the node (informational, operational, catalog, container).

If you have a cluster installation of multiple nodes, you can start only one node at a time.

Start the entire node in the following situations:

  • After you install the node.
  • After you stop the node for maintenance or updates.
  • After the node unexpectedly stops.

Start individual members in the following situations:

  • After you stop a member for maintenance or updates.
  • After a member unexpectedly stops.

About this task

If you are installing AS4 Microservice and Sterling B2B Integrator together on one server that has less than 16 GB of random access memory (RAM), you must start each application separately.

Procedure

  1. Open a command line to the install_dir\Members\bin directory.
  2. Take one of the following actions. If you are starting AS4 Microservice in Windows as a Windows service, use the execute member start_service command instead of the execute member start command.
    • If you want to start the whole node, enter execute member start all or execute member start_service all.
    • If you want to start one type of member, enter one of the following commands:
      • (Catalog member) execute member start catalog or execute member start_service catalog
      • (Container member) execute member start container or execute member start_service container
      • (Informational member) execute member start informational or execute member start_service informational
      • (Operational member) execute member start operational or execute member start_service operational
      Restriction: You can start only one type of member at a time. For example, you cannot enter the command execute member start catalog container.
    After the command finishes running, you are returned to the command line.
  3. If you must configure the storage system, enter the following command: 
    execute storage -provision -a

    See Provisioning storage from the command line.

  4. Confirm that the startup was successful.
    1. Access the installation at https://[Installation Hostname or IP address]:[Informational port number]/advcomm.
    2. Log in to the installation with the default account that you were assigned. The two default accounts are system administrator (sysadmin) and master account administrator (maccountadmin). See Configuring default account credentials.
