Starting an AppNode

Use the start command to manually start an AppNode.

When an AppSpace is started, all AppNodes associated with the AppSpace automatically start.

Note: By default, the value for the bw.engine.shutdownOnFailure property is true in the AppSpace config.ini file. This ensures that the AppNode does not start when there are any issues when starting the bwengine. You can also configure the property at the AppNode, or the AppSpace level.

bwadmin Command Line

Execute the following command at the command line to start the MyAppNode AppNode: 

BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin start -d MyDomain -a MyAppSpace appnode MyAppNode
Tip: If the AppNode is not gracefully shut down, it could corrupt the /config folder.

Configure the bw.appnode.clean.config.folder.on.startup property in the AppNode, or the AppSpace config.ini file.

To create a new /config folder every time the AppNode starts, set the bw.appnode.clean.config.folder.on.startup property to true. Setting the property to false, or leaving it undefined results in the /config folder not being deleted when the AppNode starts.
