Start and Stop Windows Services<br />
To start or stop a Windows service, use the Windows Services program. For example, you can<br />
stop PowerPlay servers running on individual computers by stopping the dispatchers, each of<br />
which runs as a service called Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cern).<br />
Note: You can also use Configuration Manager to start and stop services. For more information,<br />
see the Configuration Manager User Guide.<br />
By default, the service named Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cern) is configured to log on<br />
as the system when it is started. However, a system account may not have access privileges to<br />
certain locations on the network. For example, it may not be able to read remote cubes using a<br />
UNC path specified in PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration. You would typically have<br />
the service log on using an account that already has the necessary privileges, such as a Domain<br />
user.<br />
Steps<br />
1. From the Start menu, click Settings, Control Panel.<br />
2. Double-click Administrative Tools.<br />
3. Double-click Services.<br />
4. Select a service and click the Start Service or Stop Service button.<br />
Start and Stop UNIX Daemons<br />
To start or stop a UNIX daemon, use one of the included scripts. For example, you can stop<br />
PowerPlay servers running on individual computers by stopping the dispatchers, each of which<br />
runs as a daemon. Use the stop_ppsrv.sh script.<br />
