How to restart a Web Application

sonofendor — Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:44:38 GMT

Hello everybody!

I changed logging settings for SASSearchService and now need to restart it for changes to be applied. I found that it can be done with SAS Environment Manager, however I don't have one. How can I do it via command line (Linux server)?

Thanks for your answers

Hi,

The file "Instructions.html" has a list of the components of your SAS Platform. It also has the shells to stop/start services (maybe you need to stop/start a SAS web server). Depending on your architecture, is the directory where this file is saved, an example is "/sas/config/Lev1/Documents/Instructions.html" in the Metadata Server.

Hope this is useful.

Thank you for your reply! That file seems to have information I need and much more to explore. I will provide you with the results in a couple of days when I could test the solution.

Once again, thank you very much for your reply!

For those who will face the similar task:

Find "Instructions.html" (in my case: /opt/sas/sasconfig/Lev1/Documents/Instructions.html)
Find the section about application you need to restart (in my case "Search Interface to SAS Content')
Indentify the server it runs on from log file path (example is "/opt/sas/sasconfig/Lev1/Web/Logs/SASServer12_1/SASSearchService.log" so the server is SASServer12)
Go to "Configuring SAS Web Application Server Instance(s)" section, find the server you want and look for "Execution scripts"
Execute command for restart (in my case: /opt/sas/sasconfig/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer12_1/bin/tcruntime-ctl.sh restart)
