Starting and Stopping the Server In most cases you will start or stop the server as part of the deployment process. To start or stop the server outside the deployment process, do the following: 1. Expand Application Management > BusinessConnect > Services Instances. 2. View the state of the Service Instance. 3. Select the check box next to the instance you want to start or stop. 4. Click Start or Stop. Although the TIBCO BusinessConnect instance can be started from the command line, starting from within TIBCO Administrator is the recommended method.
