Starting and Stopping the Server

You may need to stop and start the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server to perform maintenance such as installing a lookup table or applying a product update.

  • On Windows, Spectrum™ Technology Platform is set to start automatically when Windows starts up. To ensure that Spectrum™ Technology Platform has started, right click on the Spectrum™ Technology Platform icon in the Windows system task. If the icon is green then the server has started.

    To stop Spectrum™ Technology Platform, right-click the icon and select Stop Spectrum™.
  • To start the server on Unix or Linux:
    1. Change the working directory to the bin directory of where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed.

      For example:

      cd /usr/g1/tst/server/bin

    2. Source the setup file.

      For example:

      . ./setup
    3. Start Spectrum™ Technology Platform.
      • To start Spectrum™ Technology Platform in the background, type the following command:

        ./server.start

      • To start Spectrum™ Technology Platform in the foreground, type the following command:

        ./server.start console

  • To stop Spectrum™ Technology Platform on Unix or Linux, type the following command:
    ./server.stop
Note: Java uses /var/tmp as its temporary directory by default. If there is not enough space in this directory, the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server may not start.
