Note: When an enterprise server starts or stops, it connects to Directory Server to obtain its configuration details and, later in the start or stop process, to update Directory Server information. To do this, it requires Directory Server user credentials, that is, credentials that Directory Server will verify and authorize. In order to update the Directory Server information, this user must be granted modify permission on the appropriate enterprise server resource within Directory Server.

The start or stop process also requires user credentials that the enterprise server will verify and authorize. In order to run the command used to start or stop the enterprise server, the user must have Alter permissions on the casstart resource within the OPERCMDS resource class.

It is important to note that the enterprise server is a separate security domain from the Directory Server. For example, it may be using different security configuration and different security managers.

You can specify that startup or stop should use built-in default users or the credentials with which you are currently logged on to Enterprise Server Common Web Administration. Alternatively, you can specify a different username and password.

If you use the currently logged on user, or specify alternative user credentials, you must ensure that the user is present in both the Directory Server and the enterprise server security domains. Within the Directory Server domain, the user must have modify permission on the appropriate enterprise server resource within the Servers resource class. Within the enterprise server security domain, the user must have alter permissions on the casstart resource within the OPERCMDS resource class.

Region Processes Status [1]

The Region Processes bar indicates at which stage of the starting and stopping process the region is at. The Directory Server initiates the starting and stopping processes and queries the status at specific stages.

Communication Process Status [1]

The Communication Process bar(s) indicate the status of each Communication Process used by the region. It indicates if the Communications Processes are started, and each listener owned by it. A disabled listener will not attempt to start, this state is indicated by red bar. A pending listener needs to be started from the Listeners page, but until then it is displayed as a yellow bar.

Monitoring and Control Access Status [1]

The Monitoring and Control Access bar indicates if ESCWA can communicate with the monitoring and control elements of the region (formerly known as ESMAC). This will display Stopped if ESCWA cannot contact it, Starting if monitoring and control is initiating, and Started if the region is fully initiated and any correctly configured region features are started.

Region Features Status [1]

The Region Features indicators display the status of each feature for the region:

When monitoring and control access cannot be contacted, the indicators will be blank.
If it is starting and any of the MSS, JES, IMS, and MQ features have been enabled, the indicators for these will be displayed as a yellow bar.
If it is started and any of the MSS, JES, IMS, and MQ features have been enabled but have not been configured correctly, the bars will be red to indicate that these features are not enabled as expected.
If it is started and any of the MSS, JES, IMS, and MQ features have been enabled and have been correctly configured, or TRANCLASS and CWS have been configured on the region, the bars will be green to indicate that these features are enabled as expected.
