Progress Sonic ESB Configuration and Management Guide

Creating an Activation Daemon
Using Activation Daemons
Create an Activation Daemon from the Sonic Management Console, as shown in the
following procedure. As an example, this procedure creates AD_for_Services.
◆ To create an Activation Daemon:
1. Start the domain manager where you want to manage the configurations.
2. Start the Sonic Management Console, and then connect to the domain manager.
See “Overview” on page 25 for instructions.
3. In the Sonic Management Console’s Configure tab, right-click the folder where you
want to create the new configurations. For this example, choose Containers.
4. Right-click on the folder, and then choose New > Configuration > Sonic Management
Environment > Activation Daemon. For this example, name it AD_for_Services.
The New Activation Daemon dialog box opens.
5. Specify the name of the Activation Daemon in the Name field.
6. Click OK.
Adding an Activation Daemon to a Management Container
The following procedure shows how to add an Activation Daemon to a management
container. Typically, an Activation Daemon hosts the Activation Daemon in a
management container of its own and to assign other management containers to the
Activation Daemon’s activation list (which will, in turn, start their hosted components.
(See “Using Activation Daemons” in the Progress Sonic Installation and Upgrade Guide
for an illustration.)
As an example, this procedure adds a new Activation Daemon named AD_Services to a
new management container. When the management container starts, it will start this
Activation Daemon, and the daemon will launch its hosted components.
