1.12 Manage Oracle Trace File Analyzer and Oracle ORAchk Daemons Using systemctl Commands

Run the systemctl commands as root user on an Oracle Linux server. You can also start/stop Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon using the tfactl shutdown and tfactl start commands.

systemctl status oracle-tfa.service
systemctl start oracle-tfa.service
systemctl stop oracle-tfa.service

systemctl status oracle-orachkscheduler.service
systemctl start oracle-orachkscheduler.service
systemctl stop oracle-orachkscheduler.service

oracle-tfa.service is started by default and oracle-orachkscheduler.service is not started by default. To run the status, start, or stop oracle-orachkscheduler.service commands, you must run the tfactl stopahf and orachk -autostart commands first.
