Starting Axway Gateway

Prerequisites

Using the Axway Installer, install Axway Gateway.

Starting Gateway

Windows (non-service mode)

Do one of the following:

From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Axway Software > Synchrony Axway > Gateway > Start Gateway
From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Axway Software > Synchrony Axway > Gateway > Command Prompt and then enter gatestart

Windows service mode

During installation you can choose to run Gateway as a Windows service. This causes the server to start and stop with the machine on which it is installed.

For details of how to select this option, refer to the Axway 5 Suite Installation and Prerequisites Guide.

If you need to start the Gateway server with Windows already running:

From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Windows displays the Services window.
Scroll down the Services list and right-click the Gateway service.
From the context menu, select Start.

UNIX

Go to the directory:
<Gateway install directory>/run_time/etc/profile
Execute the script:
profile
Execute the command:
$ gatestart

Checking Gateway processes on UNIX

Gateway is composed of a group of related executable programs. The programs activated at startup depend on the options chosen in the Gateway configuration menu.

After entering the command gatestart you can check that Gateway processes have correctly started or stopped.

To view the list of programs that are activated, enter the command:

$ ps –e | grep -E " p_| q_| h_| notif| ipelapi"

When Gateway is started, the ps (or Process List) command must show a supervisor process (p_sup) and a system process (p_sys).

Other Gateway processes are launched depending on the networks, protocol resources used and product options.
