Start and Stop the System on Windows

On a Windows installation you can start and stop the system using either the Oracle Analytics Server Windows service or the start and stop commands, but you must avoid mixing both methods.

Using both methods interchangeably risks that the status of the Windows service won't always correctly reflect the status of the system.

On a Windows system, use only one of the following methods at a time to start and stop Oracle Analytics Server:

• Start and Stop commands - start.cmd and stop.cmd

  See Use Commands to Start, Stop, and View Status of Processes.

• Windows service - Oracle Analytics Server [<DomainName>]

  • The Windows service allows processes to automatically start when the machine starts up.

  • You can monitor the progress of system start and stop through the Windows service in <domain_home>\bilogs\windowsService.log.

  • When you start Oracle Analytics Server using the Windows service, although the service itself starts within a few seconds, the Oracle Analytics Server stack is initiated in the background and can take up to 20 minutes to start.
