Chapter 2: Configure Servers Windows service name Windows process UNIX daemon Cognos Upfront Dispatcher (cern) Cognos Upfront Event Server (cern) UpfDispatcherService.exe ncdispatcher.exe UpfDispatcherService ncdispatcher Start and Stop Windows Services To start or stop a Windows service, use the Windows Services program. For example, you can stop PowerPlay servers running on individual computers by stopping the dispatchers, each of which runs as a service called Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cern). Note: You can also use Configuration Manager to start and stop services. For more information, see the Configuration Manager User Guide. By default, the service named Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cern) is configured to log on as the system when it is started. However, a system account may not have access privileges to certain locations on the network. For example, it may not be able to read remote cubes using a UNC path specified in PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration. You would typically have the service log on using an account that already has the necessary privileges, such as a Domain user. Steps 1. From the Start menu, click Settings, Control Panel. 2. Double-click Administrative Tools. 3. Double-click Services. 4. Select a service and click the Start Service or Stop Service button. Start and Stop UNIX Daemons To start or stop a UNIX daemon, use one of the included scripts. For example, you can stop PowerPlay servers running on individual computers by stopping the dispatchers, each of which runs as a daemon. Use the stop_ppsrv.sh script. Daemon ppserver amserver UpfAdmin upfserver Scripts start_ppsrv.sh stop_ppsrv.sh By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory. This dispatcher is automatically restarted as needed. rc.amserver Usage: rc.amserver [start|stop|status] By default, this script is located in the bin directory. start-upfadmin stop-upfadmin By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory. start-dbserv stop-dbserv stop-upfadmin By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory. 16 Cognos PowerPlay (R)
Chapter 2: Configure Servers Daemon UpfDispatcherService ncdispatcher ncserver ns-admin ns-slapd Scripts start-dispatcher stop-dispatcher By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory. start-ncdispatcher stop-ncdispatcher By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory start-ncserver stop-nc-server By default, these scripts are located in the bin directory start-admin stop-admin By default, these scripts are located in the directory where you installed Sun ONE Directory Server. start-slapd stop-slapd By default, these scripts are located in the slapd-alias directory. Instead of using these scripts, you can use the Web browser interface of Sun ONE Administration Server (ns-admin) to start and stop the directory server. Steps 1. Locate the script you want to run. 2. Run the script from a UNIX shell. Tip: You can also run UNIX scripts using the command line interface in Configuration Manager. For more information, see the Configuration Manager User Guide. PowerPlay Enterprise Server Cleanup On a gateway machine using CGI Temp mode (p. 109) for temporary file access, a service is required to delete old files on the machine. There is a UNIX and Windows utility that periodically removes these files. The CGI process creates and reads the temporary files. To enable automatic removal of these files, the PowerPlay Enterprise Server cleanup service can be invoked (Configuration Manager, Advanced Properties). If a PPES cleanup service is installed on the machine, it will periodically manage the cleanup of these temporary files. Check the Windows Environment Variables The Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cern) service uses system environment variables, not user environment variables. To check environment variables, use the Windows System Properties. Steps 1. From the Windows Start menu, click Settings, Control Panel. 2. Double-click System. 3. Click the Advanced tab.
