Starting the Process

IBM® SPSS® Modeler Server runs as a daemon process and has root privileges by default. IBM SPSS Modeler Server can be configured to run without root privileges. Refer to the IBM SPSS Modeler Server and Performance Guide for more information. You need to choose an authentication method that does not require that the daemon runs as root.

Start the application by running a startup script, modelersrv.sh , which is included in the installation directory. The startup script configures the environment for and executes the software.

1. Log in as root . Alternatively, you can log in as non-root if the non-root user is also the user who installed IBM SPSS Modeler Server.
2. Change to the IBM SPSS Modeler Server installation directory. The startup script must be run from this location.
3. Run the startup script. For example, at the UNIX prompt type:

./modelersrv.sh start
