Setting the Business Directory Server to Start Automatically on UNIX
If at any time after installing the software, you restart the UNIX installation machine, Server and the metadata repository do NOT start automatically (unlike when they start automatically after a successful installation of the software).
To configure the Business Directory service files bd.repository and bd.server
1. Log into the installation machine as root.
2. Change the working directory to <bd_install_dir>/bin.
3. Run the following command as the root user:
bd_install_services.sh
This command prompts for a user name, and other details to install and configure the service files bd.repository and bd.server.
4. Enter the name of the user to start Business Directory (not the root user) and the other information requested.
The script then installs bd.repository and bd.server into an appropriate location on the installation machine and configures them. The location will be printed on your screen when the configuration is successful, so make note of this location, because you need this to perform verification of the service files.
Do not run the bd.repository or bd.server scripts in the <bd_install_dir>/bin/ directory. These are template files used by bd_install_services.sh only and are not meant to be run.
Running bd_install_services.sh does not interrupt any repository or server processes that are running, but prepares the machine for automatically starting those processes during restart of the UNIX-based computer.
To verify the Business Directory service files configuration
1. Go to the location noted previously from running bd_install_services.sh.
2. Enter these commands:
./bd.repository restart
./bd.server restart
3. Optionally, you might need to restart your TDV Server.
If the machine is rebooted, the monitor, server, and repository processes should automatically start once the machine is ready to go.
