OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Starting a remote DataServer
Starting and stopping a broker process using MSSMAN
You can use the MSSMAN utility to start a DataServer broker on a Windows host. Prior to using
MSSMAN, verify that the AdminService is running.
To start and shut down the DataServer:
1. To start the DataServer broker, enter this command at the system prompt on the machine
where the broker will run:
mssman -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
-user user–name.
If you want to run the broker from a remote machine, you must specify additional options
that identify the remote host, as follows:
mssman -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:
mssman -name broker-name -stop
You can stop a broker on a remote machine by adding the -host and -user options.
For more information about the MSSMAN utility and a description of all the command options,
see Appendix B, “Server Related Command Line Utilities and Startup Parameters.”
