Description:
The following provides information on how to stop and start TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.

Unix Environments
On Unix, {$CONFIG_FOLDER} refers to the configuration folder in the directory where TIBCO Active Matrix BPM is installed. The location of this folder depends on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. For example:
• If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), the configuration folder has the following default location:
$USERHOME/amx-bpm/tibco/cfgmgmt

• If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, the configuration folder has the following default location:
$USERHOME/amx-bpm/tibco/data

To Stop TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
1. From the command line, change to one of the following directories, depending on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
— If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), enter the following command:
cd {$CONFIG_FOLDER}/tibcohost/TibcoHostInstance/host/bin

— If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, enter the following command:
cd {$CONFIG_FOLDER}/tibcohost/Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName/host/bin/

2. Run the following command:
./tibcohost stop –wait true
The wait option waits for users to disconnect before stopping the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM server.
The server has stopped correctly when no Tibco processes are running i.e. ps -ef |grep tibco shows only the EMS process.

To Start TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
1. From the command line, change to one of the following directories, depending on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
— If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO
ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), enter
the following command:
cd {$CONFIG_FOLDER}/tibcohost/TibcoHostInstance/host/bin

— If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, enter the following command:
cd {$CONFIG_FOLDER}/tibcohost/Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName/host/bin/
For example:
cd "/home/n2/amx-bpm/tibco/cfgmgmt/tibcohost/Admin-AMX BPM-AMX BPM Server/host/bin/"

2. Run the following:
nohup ./tibcohost start &
The command returns immediately, however the server takes a few minutes to start. The server has started when either
— the BPMNode is not using any more CPU. i.e. ps -ef |grep tibamx_BPMNode shows that the process is no longer using CPU time, or
— In TIBCO Administrator, the status of the applications is Running.


Windows Environments
On Windows %CONFIG_FOLDER% refers to the configuration folder in the directory where TIBCO Active Matrix BPM is installed. The location of this folder depends on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. For example:
• If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), the configuration folder has the following default location:
C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\cfgmgmt
• If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, the configuration folder has the following default location:
C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data

To Stop TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
1. From a command prompt, change to one of the following directories, depending on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
— If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), enter the following command:
cd {%CONFIG_FOLDER%}\tibcohost\TibcoHostInstance\host\bin\

— If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, enter the following command:
cd {%CONFIG_FOLDER%}\tibcohost\Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName\host\bin\
For example:
cd "C:\Program Files\amx-bpm\tibco\cfgmgmt\tibcohost\Admin-AMX BPM-AMX BPM Server\host\bin\"

2. Run the following:
tibcohost.exe stop –wait true
The wait option waits for users to disconnect before stopping the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM server.
The server has stopped correctly when no TIBCO processes are running i.e. Windows Task Manager shows no processes prefixed with tibamx_.

To Start TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
1. From a command prompt, change to one of the following directories, depending on how you installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM:
— If you used the installer to install and configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you did not use the TIBCO Configuration Tool), enter the following command:
cd {%CONFIG_FOLDER%}\tibcohost\TibcoHostInstance\host\bin\

— If you used the installer to install the software, but used the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) to configure an instance of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, enter the following command:
cd {%CONFIG_FOLDER%}\tibcohost\Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName\host\bin\
For example:
cd "C:\Program Files\amx-bpm\tibco\cfgmgmt\tibcohost\Admin-AMX BPM-AMX BPM Server\host\bin\"

2. Run the following:
tibcohost.exe start
To check TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM server has started correctly, in TIBCO Administrator, check that the status of the applications is Running.
