Starting and Stopping the DAC Server (Standalone Mode)

Starting and Stopping the DAC Server (Standalone Mode)

This section explains how to start and stop the DAC Server when the DAC Server is running in standalone mode.

To start or stop the DAC Server in standalone mode

• On Windows, do one of the following:
  
  • Select Start, Programs, Oracle Business Intelligence, Oracle DAC, and then Start Server or Stop Server.
  • Go to the <Domain_Home>\dac folder and double-click the startserver.bat or stopserver.bat file, depending on which action you want to perform.
    
    
• On UNIX or Linux, issue one of the following commands:
  
  

  ./startserver.sh
  
  ./stopserver.sh
  

• On AIX, issue one of the following commands:
  
  

  ./startserver_aix.sh
  
  ./stopserver_aix.sh
  

  Note: When you execute ./stopserver.csh or ./stopserver.sh, the server will issue a warning about the shutdown request. When the server receives the request, it will shut down even if there is an ETL in progress. The statuses for the ETL run will not be set correctly. The next time the DAC Server starts, it will set the status to Failed for any uncompleted run.
  
  Tip:

  When you start the DAC Server, look at the DAC Server status icon in the DAC console to make sure that the DAC Server has started. The DAC Server status icon should either be orange (idle) or green (active). If Accessibility mode is enabled, the icon for an idle DAC Server is replaced with the text "Connected to idle DAC Server," and the icon for an active DAC Server is replaced with the text "Connected to active DAC Server."
  Note: In Web mode, the process for the DAC Server to move from idle status to active can take a number of minutes.

To run the DAC Server in the background

• In bash-related shells, issue the following command:
  

  nohup startserver.sh 2>&1 &
  

  The nohup command allows the DAC Server to run in the background on UNIX.
  Note: To stop the DAC Server running as a background process, use stopserver.sh or stopserver.csh.

Note: When you execute ./stopserver.csh or ./stopserver.sh, the server will issue a warning about the shutdown request. When the server receives the request, it will shut down even if there is an ETL in progress. The statuses for the ETL run will not be set correctly. The next time the DAC Server starts, it will set the status to Failed for any uncompleted run.
