Description:
============
Customers developing their own startup and shutdown scripts for BusinessConnect (BC) may not want to use the TIBCO Admininstrator to start and stop the engine.  What is the recommended way to do this?

Environment:
==========
TIBCO BusinessConnect 5.X.X all versions

Resolution:
=========
To start the engine, use the .cmd or .bat file installed in the deployed engine's directory.  That file will launch BC using the correct .tra file.

To stop the engine, use hawk to invoke the ‘stopApplicationInstance’ hawk method.  This method preserves all checkpoint files, which does not necessarily happen when using kill -9 using the operating system.
