Starting the repository manager and the repository server

Use this task to start the repository manager and the repository server on a Linux or UNIX computer. If you use the repository virtual machine, the repository manager and the repository server are set to start automatically when you run the virtual machine. If you do not use the repository virtual machine, you must start the repository manager and the repository server manually.

To start the repository manager and the repository server on a Linux or UNIX computer:
  1. Log on to the computer with the informix user account. If an informix user account does not exist when the repository server is installed, an informix user account is automatically created with the default password opt1234X.
  2. At the command prompt, enter the command repomanager.ksh to start the repository manager. If the repository manager starts successfully, the repository manager automatically starts the repository server.

To stop the repository manager, enter the command stoprepomanager.ksh. You must be root or the informix user to run this command.

Before you shut down the repository computer, stop the repository manager. Stopping the repository manager also stops the repository server.
