Starting and stopping services

The Application Service Manager server is an administrative tool that you can use to start, and sometimes, stop LN application services.

For example, with the Application Service Manager you can:

  • Start and stop the job daemon: You can perform these steps either by UI, using the MMC snap-in called Application Service Manager snap-in, or from the command line with the asm_cli utility, as described in Management from command line in this document.

    You configured your MMC’s Application Service Manager snap-in. To command the host’s Application Service Manager to start or stop unique instances. Specify this information:

  • Host:
    In the Details pane, or in the Tree pane, right-click a host, or select the host, and click the Action menu. Point to All Tasks, and on the menu click:
    • Start: To start all of the host’s unique stopped instances.
    • Stop: To stop all of the host’s unique running instances.
  • BSE:

    In the Details pane, or the Tree pane, right-click a BSE, or select the BSE, and select the Action menu. Point to All Tasks, and on the menu click:

    • Start: To start all unique stopped instances of the BSE.
    • Stop: To stop all unique running instances of the BSE.
  • Instance:
    In the Details pane, or the Tree pane, right-click an instance, or select the instance and click the Action menu. Point to All Tasks and on the menu, click:
    • Start: To start a stopped instance.
    • Stop: To stop a running instance.

  • Stopping Application Service Manager will lose information about all running processes.
