Use the acsss command to start, stop, and monitor the status of the various services associated with ACSLS.

• acsss enable

  This is the default method to bring up ACSLS. It checks for dependencies and activates, in the proper order, the five ACSLS services and the ACSLS GUI. When this method is used, the services are configured to restart automatically after a system reboot.

• acsss temp-enable

  Similar to acsss enable, though services are not restarted after a system reboot.

• acsss maint-enable

  Intended for general maintenance operations not involving the ACSLS database. This option enables the GUI infrastructure allowing GUI users to remain logged in while ACSLS is disabled. This method is used in contexts of minor software patch installations. Neither the acsls nor the smce service is enabled.

• acsss disable

  This is the default method used to halt ACSLS operation. It is not a complete shutdown and allows for the database and any GUI login sessions to remain active for maintenance operations after the acsls and smce services have been disabled. The resulting state is identical to that of acsss maint-enable. This is the safest method to bring down the server as both ACSLS and the library are placed in an idle state before the services are disabled.

• acsss force-disable

  Similar to acsss disable, though the operation does not wait for an idle state before disabling acsls and smce.

• acsss shutdown

  This renders a complete shutdown of all ACSLS services. It is intended for contexts of software installation and de-installation, and other maintenance contexts that require the database (acsdb) or the GUI infrastructure (rmi-registry and surrogate) to be shut down.

• acsss db

  This is the preferred control mode to use for database maintenance operations including db_export, db_import, and acsss_config. It enables the ACSLS database engine and disables all other ACSLS services including the ACSLS GUI.

• acsss status

  Provides a quick status report of the various ACSLS services.

• acsss a-status

  Returns the operational status of the acsdb service.

• acsss d-status

  Returns the operational status of the acsls service.

• acsss g-status

  This option displays the status of the ACSLS GUI.

• acsss l-status

  Provides a verbose status summary of the various ACSLS services and includes pointers to log data for further analysis in troubleshooting contexts. The logs to which it points are helpful in contexts where the service failed to start up or shut down.

• acsss p-status

  Similar to acsss status, this report includes a listing of the various process IDs that are monitored by each respective service contract.

• acsss w-status

  Shows the status of the weblogic service.

• acsss timeout

  Updates the SMF start-up timeout for acsls.

• acsss legal

  This option displays the ACSLS Legal Notice in English or French.
