Application Startup

Question

Does anybody have an example to startup a deployed application
automatically? For example when your backup is completed at night and want the
application to be ready for use. I know that it starts up automatically when
the first user
tries to use the applications but it can take up to 5 minutes because we have 6
partitions across 2 servers.
thanks

kaThere are a couple of ways you can do this Kamran:
1) Run escript daily from a cron or schedular and source in a script file.
( using the -i option )
In your script file should look something like this:
CommentOn
WaitForEnvMgr
ExitIfNoEnvMgr
FindSubAgent xxx
Startup
Exit
The CommentOn command will log your script commands as they are executed
to stdout.
The WaitForEnvMgr will not start executing escript commands till the
environmanager is up and ExitIfNoEnvMgr will terminate your script
if there is an error communicating with the environment manager. This
will allow your calling shell to recognize an error.
2) The other way is to run ftexec daily from a cron or scheduler to start up
the server partitions:
ftexec -fi <image repository> -ftsrv 0
The <image repository> is the C-tree server *.idx and *.dat files
found under the $FORTE_ROOT/userapp tree. The "-ftsrv 0" will run
the server mutli-threaded only.
