This article outlines the correct sequence to Stop / Start the services of a TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) instance running on Linux machine.

TDV Server processes can be stopped or started either using the composite.bat utility OR the Windows "Services" option. 

Option I - From the command prompt, using the composite.bat utility that is located under [TDV_Server_dir]\bin path

Sequence to stop the services of a TDV instance running on Windows:
(1) Stop the monitor process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.bat monitor stop

(2) Stop the repo process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.sh repo stop

(3) Stop the cache process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.sh cache stop

Screenshot for reference to stop all TDV services:

Sequence to start the services of a TDV instance running on Windows:
(1) Start the cache process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.bat cache start

(2) Start the repo process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.bat repo start

(3) Start the monitor process:
[TDV_Server_dir]\bin\composite.bat monitor start

Screenshot for reference to start all TDV services:

Note - If you stop cache before stopping the server, it is possible that the server could still try to access the cache or repo and you may encounter errors. 

Option II: The Windows "Services" app: 
To stop the TDV Service on Windows, open the Windows Services and stop the Windows Service "TDV Server <version>" followed by "TDV Repository <version>" and then the "TDV Database Cache <cache>". 
To start the TDV Service, open the Windows Services and start the Server "TDV Server <version>".
