Starting all application servers by running a script (Linux)

Applies to: On premises

The startAllServers.sh script, which is included with IBM OpenPages®, starts all OpenPages application services on an application server.

Note: This information applies only to Linux® environments.

About this task

The script uses the following syntax:
./startAllServers.sh [--clean]

The --clean option is not necessary for normal operation. IBM® Support might ask you to use this option when providing an interim fix, or if there is a suspected problem with the cached data. If you use this option, the server will be required to recompute any cached data at the next startup, which might take more time than a restart that reuses cached data.

The OpenPages application runs only if all of the services are started and all of the services for all supporting applications are running.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the OpenPages application server as a user with administrative privileges or as the OpenPages installation user, opuser.
  2. Open a shell window.
  3. Go to the <OP_HOME>/bin directory.
  4. Run the following script: 
    ./startAllServers.sh

    The application services on the application server are started.

    The log file is: <OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/servers/<server_name>/logs/messages.log
  5. If you have horizontal application servers, repeat these steps on each of them.
