Starting and stopping a broker process using ODBMAN

You can use the ODBMAN utility to start a DataServer broker in a Windows host.

To start and shut down the DataServer:

1. Once you ensure the AdminService is running, to start the DataServer broker, enter this command at the system prompt on the machine where the broker will run:

odbman -name broker-name -start

In this command, broker–name is the name that you specified for the broker when you configured it. Optionally, you can indicate a user account by specifying -useruser–name.

If you want to run the broker from a remote machine, you must specify additional options that identify the remote host, as follows:

odbman -name broker-name -start -host host-name -user user-name

In this command:

broker–name is the name that you specified for your DataServer broker instance when you configured your ubroker.properties file.

host–name is the name of the host machine on which you want the broker to run.

user–name is the user ID of the system account under which the broker will run.

2. To stop the DataServer broker, enter this command at the system prompt on the machine where the broker will run:

odbman -name broker-name -stop

You can stop a broker on a remote machine by adding the -host and -user options.
