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 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 this command:

        ./server.start

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

        ./server.start console

  • To stop Spectrum Technology Platform on Linux, type this 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.
