Ways You Can Start 

DevTest Server

Access the 

DevTest Server

 processes in one of the following ways:

• (Windows) Click the 

  Start

   menu and expand 

  DevTest Solutions

  . Start the processes in start order sequence.
• Go to the 

  LISA_HOME\bin

   folder. Start the executables in start order sequence.
• (Windows) Go to 

  Services

   and start the services in start order sequence.
• Open a command prompt as an Administrator or open a terminal window. Go to

   LISA_HOME\bin

  , and enter the command to start each process in start order sequence. You can also start the respective services or start the associated vmoptions file. Get help by entering the command name followed by 

  --help

  .
• Execute the scripts in the 

  LISA_HOME\bin

   folder. The 

  startdefservers.bat

   script starts all components except the Enterprise Dashboard in the correct order. The 

  stopdefservers.bat

   script stops all components.

NOTE: IAM is not in the start and stop scripts, so it will need to be started before the scripts are run, or you can modify the scripts to add IAM.
