Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

> ## Starting the WebSpeed Transaction Server and NameServer

> The WebSpeed installation includes one sample NameServer and one sample WebSpeed Transaction Server instance.

> | To begin to develop or deploy applications on UNIX:

> 1. The AdminServer must be running. If the AdminServer is not running, use the `PROADSV` command to start it. (See the "Starting the AdminServer" section.)

> 2. Start an existing NameServer or create a new NameServer instance. You can create and start a NameServer by using the Progress Explorer, or you can edit the `ubroker.properties` file to create an instance and then use the `NSMAN` utility to start the instance. When you configure a NameServer instance, you can set it to start up by default whenever the AdminServer starts.

> If you are using the Progress Explorer, see the online help for information about creating and starting an instance. If you are editing the `ubroker.properties` file, see the "Editing the ubroker.properties file" section.

> To start a local instance of the NameServer from the command line, use the following command:

>     nsman -name NS1 -start

> Where `NS1` is the name of the NameServer.

> To start a remote instance of the NameServer from the command line, use the following command:

>     nsman -name NS1 -host host-name -port port -start

> Where `host-name` is the name of the host machine on which you want the instance to run; `port` is the port number on the AdminServer. The user-name and password in the properties file are used when starting a NameServer in this manner from a UNIX system.

> 3. Start an existing WebSpeed Transaction Server or create a new Transaction Server instance. You can create and start a Transaction Server by using the Progress Explorer, or you can edit the `ubroker.properties` file to create an instance and then use the `WTBMAN` utility to start the instance. When you configure a Transaction Server instance, you can set it to start up by default whenever the AdminServer starts.

> If you are using the Progress Explorer, see the online help for information about creating and starting an instance. If you are editing the `ubroker.properties` file, see the "Editing the ubroker.properties file" section.

> To start a local instance of the WebSpeed Transaction Server from the command line, use the following command:

>     wtbman -name wsbroker1 -start

> Where `wsbroker1` is the name of the WebSpeed Transaction Server.

> To start a remote instance of the WebSpeed Transaction Server from the command line, use the following command:

>     wtbman -name wsbroker1 -host host-name -port port -start

> Where `host-name` is the name of the host machine where you want the instance to run; `port` is the port number on the AdminServer. The user-name and password in the properties file are used when starting a NameServer in this manner from a UNIX system.

> By using either the Progress Explorer or the command-line utilities, you can also stop a NameServer or WebSpeed Transaction Server instance, check its status, and increase or reduce the number of running WebSpeed agents. For more information, see the Progress Explorer online help. Also see the "Using the Progress Explorer to check status" section and the "Managing the WebSpeed Transaction Server" section.
