B Starting and Stopping the Tomcat Server

This appendix describes how to start and stop the Tomcat server from a command line prompt as follows:

1. Go to the appropriate subdirectory of the EDQP Tomcat installation directory. The default directories are:

   On Linux: /opt/Oracle/Middleware/opdq/server/tomcat/bin

   On Windows: c:\Oracle\Middleware\opdq\server\tomcat\bin

   Where server is the name of your Oracle DataLens Server.

2. Run the startup command:

   On Linux: ./startup.sh

   On Windows: % startup.bat

Verify that the service was started correctly by looking for the final server startup messages.

Likewise, the Tomcat Server can be stopped from the command line with the following command:

On Linux: ./shutdown.sh

On Windows: % shutdown.bat

This command line service directly corresponds to the Tomcat Server service that is used in the Services Tool. Any combination of dialog and command line commands can be used to start and stop the service.
