Script to start and stop cognos 10.1.1 services

[ssing202]

Hi All,

I have to write a script to stop and start cognos services in sequence like first stop content manger service and start it and then dispatcher service.

I have no idea from where to start about this :-[ , your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

These services are not explicit Windows services or Unix daemons, but run as components of the Application Server and Content Manager java containers. There is only one service to stop/start, and the rest will all be taken care of. I guess you could separate the processing into separate installs having different services enabled in each, and these would then present as different services you could stop and start from the OS, but why would you want to do this?

Regards,

MF.

Windows batch...(albeit very basic as I'm not on windows, but you should get the idea.) More batch file info here:

Thanks for the response.. :)
Sometimes due to some issue cognos services stopped due to which environment become unavailable. Then we have to check all the components of cognos and restart them manually.

I am looking for a script which can check status of the component and ask to start or stop the component accordingly...

Any pointer about it will be really great. If possible can anyone provide me links which will help me in developing scripts.

Thanks.

ssing202 as MFGF pointed out there is no way to segregate the individual components of a Cognos dispacher the way you are looking for.

Grim, I am betting you are using Tomcat on Unix for your scripts to work.

I have an AIX/WebSphere deployment and I know the "./cogconfig.sh -s" will not stop the Cognos service.
When using WebSphere you need to make the script stop/start the Published app within Websphere so the command itself would be different but the essential script would still work.

Correct. For the websphere stuff you could just issue websphere admin commands in the script. If your using Unix and WAS I would assume you know these commands. If not look up the ./wsadmin.sh command stuff in your WAS docs. ;)
