Post-installation Tasks

Once you have completed running the installation procedure, perform the following tasks:

Start Caché
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Caché, see Post-installation Upgrade Tasks in the “Upgrading Caché” chapter of this book.
If you plan to develop using Studio, see the Install Caché Client on Windows for Development section.
If appropriate for your installation, perform any additional tasks described in the Special Considerations section.

Starting Caché

The evaluation RPM Linux install does not start Caché when it completes. Start and stop Caché using the standard Linux methods. For example:

/etc/init.d/cache start

On Red Hat Linux, you can also use the following:

service <instname> start

Where instname is the instance name that you chose during the installation.

All other installs leave Caché running. If you need to start Caché, first log into your operating system, then start Caché using the ccontrol command:

ccontrol start <instname>

Where instname is the instance name that you chose during the installation.

Use the ccontrol command to start and stop Caché. It is described in greater detail in the Controlling Caché Instances section of the Caché System Administration Guide.

Note:

If the permissions on all elements of the path to the mgr subdirectory do not provide read access to the cacheusr group (at a minimum), the instance fails to fully start and the following message is recorded in cconsole.log: Element of path manager_subdirectory could not be read (errno 2).

Once Caché is started, initiate a Caché session using the csession command:

csession <instname> [parameters]

Where instname is the instance name that you chose during the installation.

For more information, see the “Using Caché on UNIX®, Linux, and macOS” chapter of the Caché System Administration Guide.

Installing Caché Client on Windows for Development

Caché installs a private Apache Web server so that you can access the Management Portal; therefore, a UNIX® system does not require a Caché client on a Windows machine to perform system configuration and management tasks.

You do, however, require a Windows client to use the Studio development tool. See Performing a Caché Client Installation in the “Installing Caché on Microsoft Windows” chapter of this book for information on installing the Windows client only. Once installed, from the Caché Cube of the Windows client, perform the following tasks:

Point to Preferred Server and click Add/Edit to add a remote server connection to the Caché instance just installed. Make sure you specify the appropriate port numbers for this connection.
Point to Remote System Access, point to Studio, and then click the appropriate connection name you entered in the previous step.
