Starting and Stopping the NT Broker Process

On an NT host machine, you can use the ProControl utility to start and stop DataServer modules, if you used ProControl to configure a broker, or you can issue commands at the MS-DOS prompt.

Follow these steps to run the DataServer modules on NT using ProControl:

  1. Start an instance for the supporting ORACLE database.
  2. Start the broker by selecting it from the selection list and choosing Start on the DataServers folder. The broker spawns the DataServer process when a client requests a connection.
  3. Stop the broker by choosing Stop on the DataServers folder.

Follow these steps to run the DataServer modules from the MS-DOS prompt:

  1. Set the environment variables described in Table 4–2.
  2. Start the broker by entering this command at the MS-DOS prompt:
  3. _probrkr -H host-name -S service-name -N TCP 
    

  4. Stop the broker by entering this PROSHUT command:
  5. proshut -Gw -H host-name -S service-name -N TCP
