casstart

Starts an enterprise server.

Syntax:

casstart [/res-name] [/oconfig-name][/uusername] [/ppassword] [/cgroup] [/w]

Parameters:

/res-name Name of the enterprise server to start. Defaults to ESDEMO
/oconfig-name When using this option in MSS enabled regions, the config-name should be the name of a SIT. The region will start up using the specified SIT rather than the one defined in the Enterprise Server Administration pages.
/uuserid An authorized user. This user must exist within the security domains of both: the enterprise server and MF Directory Server. That is, the security configuration for both enterprise server and Directory Server must be able to verify the user credentials supplied. Note that enterprise server and Directory Server may be using different security managers. Therefore, it may be necessary that the user is defined in more than one security repository.

In order to update Directory Server status information, within the Directory Server domain, the user must have modify permission on the appropriate enterprise server resource within the Servers resource class. In order to successfully run the casstart command, within the enterprise server's security domain, the user must have alter permissions on the casstart resource within the OPERCMDS resource class.

Note: This is only required if you have configured security.
/ppassword The password for the user
/cgroup The sign-on group for the user. By default, when a user requests access to a resource, some external security managers will only apply rules that refer to that user and the user's current sign-on group.

If this option is not specified, the user is signed on with a default group as determined by the security manager.

/wdelay The delay (in seconds) to wait before starting the region. If you omit the /w option the system does not wait, or if you specify /w without delay the system waits for 15 seconds.

Comments:

On UNIX you can use a dash (-) before a parameter as an alternative to a forward slash (/).

The command line utilities: casstart, casstop, casfile, casout, and cassub can be invoked by program using the call interface and passing the command line parameters to the call. For instance, we might use the following to start a server:

01 ws-cmd-parms.
     05 ws-cmd-len         pic x(02) comp-x.
     05 ws-cmd-value     pic x(1024).
......
......
......
      *> Start up the Server 
      move 1                to ws-cmd-len
      move low-values  to ws-cmd-value
      string "-rMyRegion" delimited by size
               " -uSYSAD -pSYSAD /w" delimited by size
               into ws-cmd-value with pointer ws-cmd-len
      end-string
      subtract 1 from ws-cmd-len
      call 'casstart' using ws-cmd-parms end-call
......
......

When used on platforms that support running both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, casstart checks its environment to determine whether to start the Enterprise Server in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. If the server's working mode (as specified when it was created) does not match the mode specified by the environment, casstart will fail and issue an appropriate message. On Unix platforms, you choose the mode by setting the COBMODE environment variable to 32 or 64 as appropriate. On Windows platforms, you can choose the environment by choosing the relevant command prompt from the Start menu.
