VDS as a service on UNIX

[clotilde_martinez]

Hi,

we are running idm 7.2 sp8 on Unix/oracle.

I used this documentation : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00e7da17-26a1-2c10-c5a7-b9886cbc2... to set my dispatcher as a service on my UNIX server.

I was trying to do the same for my VDS (using the script in paragraph 4.8) but what i don't know is where can i pass the name of the right xml configuration file so that it is the one launched everytime.

Is there a file that can be modified, or a property that can be added to the script?

Thanks a lot,

Clotilde

Hello Clothilde,

have you started the VDS at least once? Then the VDS creates an sh file (bat file under Windows) for starting and stopping.

The start file looks like this (I shortened it a bit for better overview):

/Java/jre/bin/java -cp /vds/lib/mvd.jar:/identitycenter/Java/ojdbc14.jar:/vds/jsse/jsse.jar:

/vds/externals:/vds/lib/vdstools.jar:/vds/lib/vdsverifier.jar -DVDS_HOME=/vds -DKEY_INI_FILE=/identitycenter/Key/Keys.ini com.sap.idm.vds.MVDServer /vds/configurations/Testconfig/Testconfig.xml

Calling this script should do the trick.

Best regards

Dominik

Hi Domink,

actually yes i found it afterwards, we looked for java processes ( ps -ef | grep java) and found the command to launch.

Thanks a lot,

Best Regards,
