Starting and Stopping the TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote Server


Although your view of BusinessConnect Remote is mostly limited to the console, it is the server doing all of the real work required to exchange business documents with the TIBCO BusinessConnect host. The BusinessConnect Remote server is a service that you can start and stop. The server must be running before you can launch the console or perform any tasks with BusinessConnect Remote.

Starting the Server

On Windows, you have the option of running the BusinessConnect Remote server as an NT service. On both Windows and Linux, you can run a command script to start the server.

Command Script

When you create and save a deployment using the BusinessConnect Remote deployment wizard, the software generates a command script, which allows you to start the server using the deployment configuration you just created.

Do not attempt to start the server using the following executable in the bin directory: bcremote.exe. This executable is not linked to a deployment configuration and therefore cannot start the server properly.

To start the BusinessConnect Remote server, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to the following directory:
  2. bcremote_home/deployments

    This is the default location:

    /tibco/bcremote/5.0/deployments

  3. Double-click the command script that is named for the deployment instance:
  4. Windows:

    bcremote-instanceName.cmd

    Linux:

    bcremote-instanceName.sh

NT Service

On Windows, when you create and save a deployment using the BusinessConnect Remote deployment wizard, the software generates two command scripts that set up the BusinessConnect Remote server to run as an NT service using the deployment configuration you just created.

Uninstalling BusinessConnect Remote does not uninstall the BusinessConnect Remote NT service. Uninstalling the NT service requires running the uninstall command script.

Install

To install BusinessConnect Remote as an NT service, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to the following directory:
  2. bcremote_home/deployments

    This is the default location:

    /tibco/bcremote/5.0/deployments

  3. Double click the command script that is named for this deployment instance:
  4. bcremote-install-service_instanceName.cmd

For information about starting an NT service, refer to Windows Help.

Uninstall

To uninstall the BusinessConnect Remote NT service, perform these steps:

  1. Stop the BusinessConnect Remote NT service.
  2. Navigate to the following directory:
  3. bcremote_home/deployments

    This is the default location:

    /tibco/bcremote/5.0/deployments

  4. Double click the command script that is named for this deployment instance:
  5. bcremote-uninstall-service_instanceName.cmd

Stopping the Server

To stop the BusinessConnect Remote server, perform this step in the BusinessConnect Remote console:

  1. Select Actions>Shutdown Server.

You can also terminate the program from the command window where the BusinessConnect Remote server is running. Typically CTR-C works.
