Starting or stopping product services

Depending whether you installed BMC Release Lifecycle Management (RLM) as a root or a non-root user, see the following:

Starting or stopping product services for root installation

After installation on Windows or Linux, the BMC Release Process Management (TorqueBox) server, the PostgreSQL database server (if you installed PostgreSQL), the BMC Release Package and Deployment (Apache) server, the dispatcher server, API server, and the deployment engine server are installed as services and are started by default (only if you installed the solution with administrator or root privileges). 

• (Windows) The following image shows the services installed and started on a Windows computer. If you install multiple instances of BMC Release Lifecycle Management, you can see multiple services with their specific installation location displayed under the Description column.

• (Linux) The installation program installs BMC Release Lifecycle Management as a service and the following services are created:
  • bmcrpm-5.0.00

  • bmcrlmpostgresql-5.0.00

    Note

    If you install the PostgreSQL database along with the solution, the system creates a default user called rlmuser and the bmcrlmpostgresql-5.0.00 service is created.

  • bmcrlmapache-5.0.00
  • bmcrlmqapi-5.0.00
  • bmcrlmqengine-5.0.00
  • bmcrlmqdispatch-5.0.00

    You can start or stop the preceding services by using the commands given in the following table:

    Task	Commands

Starting or stopping product services for non-root installation

If you install the product as a normal user, without administrator or root privileges, then you cannot register the various services related to the solution. This means the services related to the BMC Release Process Management (TorqueBox) server, the PostgreSQL database server (if you installed PostgreSQL), the BMC Release Package and Deployment (Apache) server, the API server, the dispatcher server, and the deployment engine server are not started automatically on restarting your computer. However, you can start or stop these services manually by running the server scripts given in the following table.
