Starting and Stopping the Runtime Service

Which procedure you use to start the Runtime Service depends on the environment in which you are working. In Windows, you can run the service either as a Windows service or in application mode. In UNIX, you can run the service as a daemon in the background.

Note For a run-time server to be available to run the tasks associated with it, it must be both registered and enabled. To do this, in the left pane of the MCS management console, under Deployments, then Tasks, select Register Runtimes.

  • To start the Runtime Service:
    This way
    		 Do this
    As a service From the Control Panel, choose Services, select the Runtime Service, then choose Start or Stop.

    By default, the service starts immediately after installation, and it also starts automatically whenever you restart the Runtime Service computer.

    install_directory\Attachmate\EAI\IMSServer\StartIMSRuntime.bat

  • To stop the Runtime Service, press CTRL+C.

    The status of the Runtime Service is changed on the Registered Runtimes page.

    Note Before you stop the Runtime Service, it is a good idea to disable it first to wait for any tasks that may be running to complete.
