Starting and Stopping Single-Server Processes

In a single-server configuration, there's only one server to administer: PIA. You can control the life cycle of the PIA server using scripts, using PSADMIN, or in the WebLogic console.

Scripts

For all platforms:

Field or Control Description

startPIA

Use this script to start the WebLogic server locally.

stopPIA

Use this script to connect to a locally running WebLogic server and issue a shutdown command through WebLogic APIs.

Note:

When you shut down the server, a warning is displayed since the shutdown command uses a non-SSL http connection to connect to the WebLogic Server. This shutdown command can be changed to use the SSL connection by editing the stopPIA.sh script.

For Microsoft Windows only:

Field or Control Description

installNTservicePIA

Use this script to register the PIA WebLogic server as a Windows service that runs as a background process. The service is named as WebLogicDomainName-PIA, for example: peoplesoft-PIA.

uninstallNTservicePIA

Use this script to deregister the PIA Windows service.

WebLogic Remote Console

A WebLogic server can also be shut down from the WebLogic Remote Console. See Using WebLogic Remote Console.

Click the Monitoring Tree tile, and then select Environment , and then Servers. Select PIA to enable these controls:

  • Start

  • Resume

  • Suspend

  • Shutdown

  • Restart SSL
