Hello,
I'm finding recommendations and installations that are all over the map with regard to this, Being accustomed to products that have rigid requirements for service stop/start order, I was looking for feedback.
For a standard non-clustered machine, I was using these orders for stop/start with machines in my test environment (taken from PTC documentation or a document, I didn't note the source):
Stop order: Windchill, Windchill Directory Server, Apache
Start order: Windchill Directory Server, Apache, Windchill
Then I run across a live installation configured by someone with a more time and experience with the product using this order for a backup script:
Stop order: Windchill, Apache, Windchill Directory Server
Start order: Windchill Directory Server, Apache, Windchill
What I would like to know is if there is a best practice based on the technical needs, structure and/or interaction of the Windchill services. I've read the older discussions here with previous Windchill releases, and it seems reasonable to stop or start the Apache services depending on how users could be affected. Other than that, how should the Windchill service and the Directory services be handled?
Thank you.
Regards,
ML Starkey
