Starting Dimensions for UNIX

For Dimensions for UNIX to be successfully started, the following need to be running:

- The appropriate Serena-Supplied Runtime RDBMs or Oracle Enterprise UNIX processes for the instance used by Dimensions.

- The UNIX processes for the License Manager (unless you are running Dimensions with an evaluation license).

- The UNIX processes for the Common Tomcat, if you want to run Dimensions Web tools.

Proceed as follows to start the above mentioned components:

- To start the Serena-Supplied Runtime RD.

- To start the Oracle Enterprise database server, consult your DBA or vendor documentation.

- To start the License Manager service, see the Administration Guide.

- To start the Dimensions server (assuming the other components are already started):

1. Log in as user root.

2. Give yourself the Dimensions environment, as explained in general prerequisites in the Administration Guide.

3. Run the following command:

$ dm_control cm_start

4. Run the following command:

$ ps -eaf | grep dm[pal]

5. If the dmappsrv.x UNIX processes are not running, see the chapter on troubleshooting in the Installation Guide for UNIX.

- To start the Common Tomcat service, see the Administration Guide.
