Starting QAD Enterprise Edition
Linux and UNIX Installations
To start QAD Enterprise Edition, use the following steps:
1 To start all database, WebSpeed, and AppServer processes, enter:
./startenv.<environment_name>
Note: If you have completed QAD Enterprise Edition configuration and you have not stopped the processes, you do not need to start any of the processes. They automatically start during the configuration process.
2 Start a character client session. Enter:
./client.<environment_name>
Note: If more than one language is installed, you have a ./<client-lang>.
<
environment_name> script (for example, client-us.pilot).
Windows Installations
To start QAD Enterprise Edition, do the following:
1 To start the databases in Windows, use Progress Explorer. Using Progress Explorer allows the databases to continue to run after the user logs off the system. Progress Explorer uses the database configurations that QDT set up in the conmgr.properties file. You should see all databases under the Databases section.
2 Select Start or All Programs|QAD Applications|QAD EE|<environment_name>|Start <environment_name> Environment.
3 Select QAD Applications|QAD EE|<environment_name>|Character Client for <environment_name> (language).
QAD Enterprise Edition starts.
