How to start Notification Service?

Resolution:

More information can be found in the System Guide, these are the steps needed to get the service to start.

Using the Administration Browser

1. Have the correct jars set in CLASSPATH, this includes jar files for the ORB you are using (the correct jar files for each ORB are listed in the Installation Guide) and current directory 
2. If you are not running the service on a fixed port, you will need to start the ORB daemon
3. Start Administration Browser with the manager script under ${OF_Install_Dir}/bin. This will bring up the Administration Browser
4. With each service listed, go to "Notification Service" and right click on it
5. From the menu, choose "Start" and the service should start. If the start option is greyed out you need to click on the Notification Service to expand the tree. If the NotificationSingleton and the other nodes are crossed out it means your license file is not valid and you need a new one

Using the server script

You can also start the service by using the server script under ${OF_Install_Dir}/bin. Before the server script can be used to start the service, the XML files must be populated. This only needs to be done for a fresh installation or after a restore has been performed.

To populate the XML files, either perform a save on the service node in the application manager or use the adminMgrTool as follows:

   adminMgrTool -p

Once this has been done you can use the server script to start the Notification Service using the command:

server -start NotificationService
