Starting and stopping the Perl engine on Linux and Solaris

Edit online

Use the Rational® Build Forge® user interface to start and stop the Perl engine. You must always start and stop the Perl engine manually.

Starting the Perl engine
  1. On the Build Forge® user interface, enable the Perl engine:
    1. Click Administration > System.
    2. In the Default to the Java Master Job Controller field, select No.
      Note: If a Java engine job is running, you cannot change the value for the Default to the Java Master Job Controller field to No. Conversely, the same is true for Perl engine jobs.
  2. From a shell command line, go to the Build Forge® installation path and enter this command: rc/perl-engine start to start the Perl engine.
Stopping the Perl engine
  1. From a shell command line, go to the Build Forge® installation path and enter this command: rc/perl-engine stop to stop the Perl engine.
  2. On the Build Forge® user interface:
    1. Click Administration > System.
    2. In the Default to the Java Master Job Controller field, select Yes.
