Hi Linda Li,

Basically it depends on enviroment and If it's unix then it depends on how you configure your scripts in /etc/init.d

1. If you are looking for on how to start & stop XServer for environment APO/LiveCache & MaxDB then below are commands

x_server [<options>] [start]

x_server stop

2. If its on general UNIX then

If you're in X and want to stop it, bring up the terminal window and type:

init 3

To start X from the command line, type either:

startx

or

init 5

I hope this helps you.

Thanks and best regards

Thanks for your help.

May I ask 2 more questions:

1) is Xserver another name of LiveCache instance on Unix and Windows?

2) before stopping Xserver, do I have to take care of CIF queue and other related issues? If so, would you please give a bit more details?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Linda LI,

The X Server is the communication server of the database system. It's basically configured to receive requests from clients for database related access (clients could be database applications/tools/remote systems).

More information about x_server could be found in MAXDB library. You could find the MAXDB library at http://maxdb.sap.com/documentation/
