OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Chapter 6: Connecting the 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.”
