Starting the Integration Server on Windows

After you install the server software on Windows systems, you can choose either of the following options for Integration Server operation:

Before starting Integration Server as a Windows service, you must first enable the Windows service. See Running DB2 OLAP Server and DB2 OLAP Integration Server as a Windows service for more information.

Starting and stopping Integration Server from the Windows desktop

To start Integration Server from the Windows desktop Start menu:

  1. On the Windows desktop, click Start.
  2. Select Programs --> IBM DB2 OLAP Server 8.2 --> IBM DB2 OLAP Integration Server --> Integration Server to display the Integration Server window.

To stop Integration Server from the Windows desktop:

  1. In the Windows task bar, right-click the button representing Integration Server.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select Close.

Starting and stopping Integration Server from the DOS command line

To start Integration Server from the command line, start a DOS window and type startup.bat at the command prompt.

When you first start Integration Server, it creates the Integration Server log, olapisvr.log, in the log directory. To write to a log in another directory, add an entry to the startup.bat file or the eis.cfg file specifying the directory. Here is the syntax for the eis.cfg file:

[-E]=directory_name\log_name

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

To stop Integration Server from the command line, close the Integration Server window, or use Integration Services Shell.

For more information on starting and stopping Integration Server from the command line using the startup.bat command, and on using the startup.bat file or eis.cfg file to store startup parameters, see the Integration Services System Administrator's Guide.
