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 the $OGG_SRVMGR_DIRECTORY/bin directory 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 each 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 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.
