If you are a full installation deployment, use the Start or Stop commands to start the ARCHIBUS database and application servers so that your workstation and other workstations can sign in and work. As a full installation, when you launch the application, the servers are automatically shared.
If you are running the Smart Client as an enterprise client workstation, or as a remote workstation that is part of a workgroup ("Client-Only " install), you do not need to start the servers. For client-only installs, see Signing In to a Project.
The Start and Stop commands are available from the Server group on the ribbon toolbar. If the servers are started, the Stop command is available; when the servers are not started, the Start command is available.
Note: The Start/Stop commands replace the pre-V19 ARCHIBUS Services Manager. Instead of running the Start/ARCHIBUS /Start Services command – you use the Start and Stop commands from within the Smart Client program.
The Start Servers command will start all local Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server databases, then it will start the Jetty application server.
There can be only one instance of the process/service for each database engine type (Sybase ASA Runtime, Sybase ASA, or SQL Server express). More than one database process or service can start (for example, it's ok if the Sybase ASA, Sybase ASA Runtime, and/or SQL Server Express databases start all at the same time).
The program uses service name to recognize a running service. Each database engine type has one service name.
Tip: Windows Client/Server. You can use both the Smart Client and the Windows Client/Server versions 17 and beyond on the same workstation at the same time. If you use Sybase, you can use the Smart Client "Start" command to start your project. If you then connect to a project of the same name from the Windows Client/Server program, that program will connect to the already-running server and share the same data.
Tip: Application and Database Console Applications. If you start local projects with the Sybase Runtime server, the program starts the Jetty application server and the Sybase Runtime server as console applications. You can stop these console processes with the Smart Client "Stop Servers" command.
The Sybase Runtime database can also be stopped by right-clicking on the Sybase icon in the Windows services tray and selecting “Exit.”
The Jetty application server can be stopped using the Task Manager by ending the JettyService.exe and the Java.exe services. You do not need to stop any jqs.exe (Java Quick Start) or jusched.exe (Java Update Scheduler) processes that you see.
Tip: Application and Database Services. If you start local projects with any other database, they will run as services. You can stop these services with the Smart Client "Stop Servers" command. You can also stop them with the Windows Services Manager. To access the Services Manager, use Start/Run, enter “services.msc”, and choose OK.
Tip: Database Services Icon. The Windows operating system doesn’t always refresh the services tray to remove the Sybase database server icon. Mouse over the tray to have Windows refresh the tray and remove the icon.
Tip: Sybase Enterprise Setup. You can work with the Sybase authoring database and the Smart Client. To do so, use the Smart Client’s Edit Projects command to set up a project entry that has the Sybase project as an “enterprise” project rather than a “local” project. In this way, the Smart Client will not try to start this database or the application server and you can use the Smart Client with this database – even if you have used the full install. This tip applies to the Jetty, Tomcat, and WebLogic application servers
To start the services:
Select Server/Start from the Ribbon. (The Start Servers button is enabled only if no database or application server service or process is running, and if your installation type isfull.)
Once started, you can access the ARCHIBUS application from this Smart-Client program, the ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD or the DWG Editor programs.
Note: You only need to start the servers once, and then you can access them even if you exit and restart the Smart-Client or ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD or the DWG Editor.
If you use the Sharing command, peer workstations on your network will be able to access the ARCHIBUS application. See Sharing Your Workstation.
The Stop command stops the ARCHIBUS database and application servers. This will terminate all user sessions hosted by this server. The Stop button is enabled only if any database or application server process or service is running.
You can stop the service with this command, even if you have exited and restarted the Smart Client since starting the servers.
