3.3 Manually Starting Operations Center

It is possible to start the Operations Center software manually. You can use a manual startup to avoid a potential problem for when you manually stop Operations Center software and do not want the Auto-Restart utility to immediately restart Operations Center software.

To manually start Operations Center:

  1. Enter mossstart componentat a command prompt, where component is the name of the component to start.

    For example, enter mosstart orb_server_nameat a command prompt.

    Replace orb with the ORB name or with the Event Manager.

    Replace server_name with the hostname of the server where the ORB software is resident.

    If you only installed Operations Center software, no ORB software is running.

  2. Because the format of the command used to start the Operations Center server depends on whether it is configured to start automatically, do one of the following:

    • If the Operations Center server is configured to start automatically, enter mosdaemon at the command prompt.

    • If the Operations Center server if it is configured to start manually, enter mosdaemon at a command prompt, press Enter, then enter mosstart Formula.

    The Operations Center software starts.

  3. Before attempting to connect to Operations Center, determine whether Operations Center is running using the mosstatus command.

    The Operations Center server can take a few minutes to start.
