Stopping and Starting a Server

Stop and start a server to perform maintenance or to apply changes to server settings. You can perform this action as a two-step process (stop and start) or as a single restart process.

You can stop and start a server from Sybase Control Center for servers that are installed on the same host as Sybase Control Center, as well as servers that are installed on different hosts.

Note: If someone manually shuts the server down, this action triggers multiple errors in Sybase Control Center for Unwired Server until the console determines that the server is no longer available. This takes approximately 30 seconds to detect. When this occurs you might see multiple Runtime API throws exception errors logged. Wait for the server to come online and log into the server again to resume your administration work.

Choose an appropriate process:

To stop the server, click Stop. You can then perform the administration actions you require that might require the server to be started. To then restart the server, click Start.
If you perform an administration action that requires a restart to take effect, click Restart. This shuts the server down and restarts it in a single process.

As the server stops and starts, progress messages display in the Server Console pane.
