Stopping and starting the Infor Lawson servers

Servers must be stopped when you are upgrading your software. It might be necessary to stop and start servers for routine system maintenance and for troubleshooting. When you make a change to a configuration file, you will often need to stop and then restart the affected server to ensure that the change you made takes effect.

You can stop or start servers individually, or you can stop and start them as part of the procedure of shutting down and starting up the Infor Lawson system.

If you stop ladb individually, latm and lajs also stop. However, when you start ladb individually, only ladb starts. You must start lajs and latm individually or use startlaw to start them.

To stop and start all Infor Lawson servers, you use the stoplaw and startlaw commands. The startlaw and stoplaw commands control all servers, except the Infor Lawson Debug Server (ladebug). You can add the debug server to startlaw and stoplaw by adding ladebug to the laserv.cfg file and then adding ladebug to the startlaw and stoplaw .bat files.

Any log archiving that needs to happen (as specified by the appropriate parameters in %LAWDIR%\system\univ.cfg) will be done when only startlaw (or equivalent system LSF startup) is executed. For example, if latm is stopped and restarted by itself, no log archiving will occur.

If you are shutting down or starting the Infor Lawson system, you must also stop or start the WebSphere application server. Stopping and starting the Lawson system
