You can use the Rational®
DOORS® database server administration tool on
Windows machines to stop database
servers running on either Windows or Linux
systems.
Before you begin
If anyone is using Rational DOORS when you shut down the server, they might lose data. If a client is disconnected from the server for more than two minutes, the client session is considered invalid and any unsaved work is lost. Use the broadcast message function to tell users that you are going to shut down the server, and ask them to exit Rational DOORS. See
Broadcasting messages for more information.
About this task
You cannot use the Rational
DOORS database server administration
tool on Linux machines. If you need to use a Linux machine to stop a
database server, you must use the command line:
- Change your working directory to $Rational
DOORSHOME/bin.
- Enter the command:
dbadmin -data port@DOORSserver -killserver [-password password]
Replace:
- port with the port that the
database server is using.
- host with the name of the
computer the server is running on.
- password with the password
for the database server. If the database server
does not have a password, omit the
-password switch.
Procedure
