START SERVER
START SERVER
This command initiates operation of the static servers in a server class. The number of
static servers started is determined by the value set for the NUMSTATIC attribute. This
command does not affect server classes in the FROZEN state.
server-class
specifies the name of a previously defined and added SERVER object.
GROUP group-name
specifies the name of a set of SERVER objects, each configured as a member of the
specified group. The START SERVER command is issued to each SERVER object
associated with this group.
*
issues the START SERVER command to all SERVER objects known to the
Pathway/XM environment.
Considerations
•
If the SERVER object is defined as a direct server class and you used the PXMCFG
SET SERVER PROCESS statement to specify server process names, then the
START SERVER command uses those names when starting the server processes.
•
If the server is suspended longer than the specified timeout period and there are no
new sends to the server, the LCS process stops and the server class state changes
from SUSPENDED to STOPPED. In this case, you must use the START SERVER
command instead of the RESUME SERVER command. Therefore, before issuing a
START or RESUME command, you must verify the status of the server using a
STATUS SERVER command.
Examples
The following command starts all of the static servers defined for all server classes:
START SERVER *
The following command starts only the static server processes defined for the named
server class:
START SERVER MFG-SRV
START SERVER { server-class }
{ GROUP group-name }
{ * }
Note. The SET SERVER PROCESS command should be used only if your application must
communicate with outside processes that require specific server process names in your
Pathway/XM environment.
