Starting the proxy manually

The server can receive service requests from the manager on an application server only if the proxy is started on the server computer. If the proxy is not configured as a MicrosoftWindows service or as a Linux or UNIX daemon, you must start the proxy manually.

How you verify whether the proxy is started depends on the operating system of the server computer.
  • On a Windows computer, look for the Optim Proxy application in Task Manager and look for the IBM InfoSphere Optim Server Proxy service in the Services administrative tool. If you do not find the Optim Proxy application, and the IBM InfoSphere Optim Server Proxy service is not started or does not exist, the proxy is not started.
  • On a Linux or UNIX computer, run the proxy_folder/proxystate.ksh script, where proxy_folder is the folder to which the proxy was installed. The proxy_folder/proxystate.ksh script displays the process status of the proxy. If no process status is displayed when you run this script, the proxy is not started.
