Start and Stop the Service Manager

The start and stop process of the Service Manager within Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture is based on two approaches:

If the Service Manager is configured in manual mode then there are scripts in $OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/bin that you can run to start or stop the Service Manager.
- To start the Service Manager: $OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/bin/startSM.sh
- To stop the Service Manager: $OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/bin/stopSM.sh
Note:

Before running either script to start or stop the Service Manager, edit and set the following variables:

export $OGG_HOME=Oracle GoldenGate installation folder

export $OGG_ETC_HOME=OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/etc

export $OGG_VAR_HOME=OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/var
If the Service Manager is configured as a daemon or service, the scripts required to start or stop for manual interaction are not created. The operating system is responsible for starting or stopping the Service Manager.

For Linux:
```
systemctl start OracleGoldenGate
```
```
systemctl status OracleGoldenGate
```
```
systemctl stop OracleGoldenGate
```
For Windows:
```
net start OracleGoldenGate
```
```
net stop OracleGoldenGate
```
If you use experience any issued while using the registerServiceManager.sh/bat utility to register the Service Manager as a daemon or service, see the MOS note 3051194.1 RegisterServiceManager.sh Fails By oggca.sh: command not found. Also see the Known Issues and Limitations 23ai (23.9.1.25.08) in Oracle GoldenGate Release Notes.
If the Service Manager is configured to run with the XAG agent in an Oracle Cluster Ready Service (CRS); then the start and stop process is handled by the CRS stack.
