Windchill System Administrator's Guide

Starting and Stopping the Windchill System
Modifying System Properties
When your server manager is up and you access the System Configurator, the
Server Status page opens by default. Or, if you have another page open, you can
click the Server Status tab to display the Server Status page.
To start or stop the server manager or a method server, click the icon in the
Actions column of the associated row on the Server Status page. If the server
manager or method server is running, clicking the icon stops it. If the server
manager or method server is stopped, clicking the icon starts it.
When your server manager is down, you can access the System Configurator
Server Status page by entering the following URL in your Web browser:
http:///wtcore/jsp/wt/sysadm/SystemConfigurator.jsp
where is the host system (and port, if you are not using the default port of
80) where Windchill is installed and is the Web application name
defined for Windchill (the default is Windchill).
From the Server Status page, you can then start or stop the server manager, start
or stop individual method servers, and check the status of all servers.
Click the Edit Properties tab to display the links to individual property files. The
Edit Properties page displays links to the Windchill property files that have been
established as property names that end in .properties in the wt.properties file and
are available from the location specified in the property. The values for these
properties consist of the fully qualified property file path names where the files
reside. For example, if the pom property file is defined in wt.properties as:
wt.pom.properties=$(wt.home)$(dir.sep)db$(dir.sep)db.properties
and the db.properties file does reside in the codebase directory where your
Windchill solution is installed, then the pom link appears on the Edit Properties
page. If the property did not end in .properties or the db.properties file did not
reside in the specified directory, then the pom link would not appear on the Edit
Properties page.
To add properties and corresponding values to a property file, use the
xconfmanager utility. For information about the xconfmanager utility, see Using
the xconfmanager Utility.
Use the following procedure to modify system properties from the System
Configurator:
1. On the Edit Properties page, click the link to property file that you want to
modify.
