Stopping and Starting the Application Container

If it is deemed necessary, you can stop (shut down) and restart the application container using the commands in this topic. The application container for Siebel Application Interface, Siebel Gateway, and Siebel Server (for Configuration Agent), and any other application containers hosting new functionality, are automatically started only once, after installation. Subsequently, whenever an application container needs to be restarted, you must do this manually. Restarting the Siebel Gateway or Siebel Server system services does not restart the associated application containers and does not necessarily require that these application containers be started manually.

CAUTION:  If you think you might need to shut down and then restart an application container, you must first check that the application container has shut down completely, for example, by using the Task Manager in Windows, before you attempt to start it again. Otherwise, a port conflict failure might impede proper startup of the application container. Sometimes, examining logs might be the only way to indicate the nature of the problem.

Note also that recommendations about installing components together with the Siebel Enterprise installer are largely based on the fact that components installed together share the application container. Install them separately in order to eliminate such dependencies in order to maintain availability for your Siebel components.

To shut down the application container, run one of the following commands:

• Windows. Execute SIEBEL_ROOT\applicationcontainer\bin\shutdown.bat
• UNIX. Execute SIEBEL_ROOT/applicationcontainer/bin/shutdown.sh

To start the application container, run one of the following commands:

• Windows. Execute SIEBEL_ROOT\applicationcontainer\bin\startup.bat
• UNIX. Execute SIEBEL_ROOT/applicationcontainer/bin/startup.sh
