Starting or stopping Adeptia services

You can start or stop the following Adeptia services as and when you need in the same order as given below:

  • Connect Server Kernel
  • Connect Server WebRunner
  • AIMap
  • Connect Portal

Follow the steps below to start or stop the services on Windows and Linux. 

On Windows

You can start or stop these services in two ways:

  • As a service
  • From Start Menu/Desktop

As a Service

Follow the steps below if you have installed Adeptia Connect as a service:

  1. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Right-click a specific service and then click Start or Stop based on your requirement.

From Start Menu/Desktop

  • Start Menu: Go to Start > Programs > Adeptia Connect  and select the specific service. 
  • Desktop: Double-click the service's shortcut on the desktop.

Both the actions will display the service console window for the service that you have selected. This window indicates that now you have that specific service up and running.

To stop any of the services, go to the service console window, and press Ctrl+ C.

It is recommended that you use only Ctrl+ C option to stop any service in Adeptia Connect. If you close service console window by clicking the cross button, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used by Adeptia Connect may not shut down properly.

If you stop Kernel or WebRunner by clicking the cross button, ensure that you go to Task manager thereafter and kill the Java.exe and JSL.exe.

On Linux

To start or stop the Connect Server Kernel, WebRunner, and AIMap, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Go to ...<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\ConnectServer\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel folder.
  3. Type ./startup.sh to start, or, type ./stop.sh to stop a service.
AIMap services start and stop automatically along with Connect Server Kernel and WebRunner when you run the ./startup.sh and ./stop.sh commands respectively. However, if you want to start or stop AIMap services individually, use the following commands:
./startAIMap.sh
./stopAIMap.sh

To start or stop the Connect Portal, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Go to ...<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>\ConnectPortal\bin folder.
  3. Type ./startup.sh to start, or, type ./stop.sh to stop Connect Portal.

If the Kernel is not running, the system notifies you with an alert message in the top pane of the application interface. The alert message contains the node details along with a link to the System Console page. You can visit the System Console to know more details about the underlying issue.

You are also notified through Message Centre which, when clicked, shows either of the two messages, "Kernel (with node details) is not running" or "Scheduler is not running". If you click on the message, it takes you to the System Console page.
