Starting Integration Server on UNIX

After you install the server software, you can run Integration Server or Integration Services Shell from any directory.

You can start Integration Server and automatically configure the environment, or you can manually configure the environment before starting Integration Server.

Running Integration Server on UNIX Systems

To run Integration Server in the foreground and automatically update your environment, type the following command:

olapisvr 

To run Integration Server in the background, modify olapisvr or type the following commands:

nohup olapisvr & 
hisjava.sh

The nohup command keeps the Integration Server program running even if you log off. The ampersand (&) suffix makes the program a background process.

For more information on starting and stopping Integration Server from the command line, on other startup switches for the olapisvr command, and on using the eis.cfg file, see the Integration Services System Administrator's Guide.

CAUTION: To allow the Integration Services Console client to create OLAP models and metaoutlines, you must run Integration Server and keep it running while any clients are connected to it.

When you start Integration Server, it begins writing to the log, olapisvr.log, in the log directory. To write to a log on another directory, type the following command:

olapisvr -Emydir/mylog

Do not type the .log file extension. The .log extension is automatically appended to the name that you type for the log.

Stopping Integration Server on UNIX Systems

You can use the SHUTDOWN command in the Integration Services Shell (olapicmd) to stop Integration Server. For more information, see the Integration Services System Administrator's Guide.
