Starting and Stopping TDV Processes on Windows
You can start and stop a variety of TDV processes.
To start or stop TDV on Windows, use one of the following
• From the Windows Task Manager Services tab, start or stop the TDV Server and Repository processes.
• In a command window, navigate to the TDV installation directory using the command:
cd <TDV_install_dir>\bin
 
Enter one of the following.
To start, stop, or restart all TDV processes
Enter the composite command with one of these options:
composite.bat monitor [start | stop | restart]
 
To start the TDV Server and repository processes without the monitor
Enter the command:
composite_server.bat run
 
This command runs a Java process only; no Windows service is called.
Or, use the Server Auto Restart configuration parameter.
To start, stop, restart, install, or uninstall the repository
Enter the command:
composite.bat repo [start | stop | restart | install | uninstall]
 
Note: The stop command on UNIX shuts the repository down, but leaves the monitor process running. On Windows, the stop command stops both the repository and the monitor process.
