Starting and Stopping the openBIS Application Server and Data Store Server

Start Server

The openBIS application server is started as follows:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/as-service.sh start

On startup the openBIS server creates the openBIS database (named openbis_prod by default) and checks the connection with the remote authentication services (if they are configured). Log files can be found in <installation folder>/servers/openBIS-server/jetty/logs. Also the following command shows the log: <installation folder>/bin/bislog.sh

Warning

Unless otherwise configured through running the installation script or within the database itself, the first user logged in into the system will have full administrator rights (role INSTANCE_ADMIN).

Commonly, the application server is configured to access a local data store via the data store server. This has to be started after the AS:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/dss-service.sh start

The application server and the data store server can also be started one after the other using a single command:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/openbis.sh start

Stop Server

The application server is stopped as follows:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/as-service.sh stop

To only stop the data store server:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/dss-service.sh stop

To stop both the data store server and then the applicaiton server:

prompt> <installation folder>/bin/openbis.sh stop
