Retain runs under Tomcat, which runs under Java and it is made up of two main components:
- Retain Server
- Retain Worker
To start, stop, or restart either one of these components (or both if they reside on the same server), you start, stop, or restart Tomcat.
Here are instructions on starting, stopping, and restarting Tomcat on Windows, Linux, and NetWare:
Windows
In Windows, it runs as a service, so simply start, stop, or restart that service.
Retain 2/3: Apache Tomcat [n] (where "n" is the Tomcat version)
Retain 4: Retain Tomcat [n] (where "n" is the Tomcat version)
Linux
The following commands are typed at the command prompt:
SLES 11
|
Start: |
rcretain-tomcatx start |
| Stop: |
rcretain-tomcatx stop |
| Restart: |
rcretain-tomcatx restart |
SLES 12
Start: systemctl start retain-tomcatX.service
Stop: systemctl stop retain-tomcatX.service
Restart: systemctl restart retain-tomcatX.service
Where "x" is the version of tomcat (i.e., Retain 2.x uses Tomcat5, Retain 3.x uses Tomcat7
On rare occasions, the symbolic link "rcretain-tomcat5" will not exist for some customers who may have upgraded from Retain 1.x. In such cases:
Change directories to /etc/init.d:
| Start: |
./retain-tomcat5 start |
| Stop: |
./retain-tomcat5 stop |
| Restart: |
./retain-tomcat5 restart |
*Note: This is no longer true in SLES 12
You can manually create the "rcretain-tomcat5" symbolic link so that you can use the aforementioned commands:
Type: ln -s /etc/init.d/retain-tomcat5 /sbin/rcretain-tomcat5
Netware
The following commands are typed at the system console:
| Start: |
tomcatx |
| Stop: |
tcxstop |
| Restart: |
tcxrestart |
Where "x" is the version of tomcat (i.e., Retain 2.x uses Tomcat5, Retain 3.x uses Tomcat7)
