Starting the Data Collector
The installer configures the Data Collector to start automatically, however, it does not
actually start it upon completion of the installation because you must first validate the
installation.
Data Collector Manual Startup
Follow these steps, for the relevant operating system, to manually start the Data
Collector service:
On Windows
The installer configures the Data Collector process as a Service.
To view the Data Collector Status:
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel
2. Click Administrative Tools.
3. Click Services.
The Microsoft Services Dialogue will be displayed. It should include entries for “Aptare
Agent”. Start this service if it is not running.
On UNIX
The installer automatically copies the Data Collector “start” and “stop” scripts to the
appropriate directory, based on the vendor operating system.
To start the data collector (agent), use the following command for the respective
platforms:
OS Command
Linux/Solaris /etc/init.d/aptare_agent start
AIX /etc/aptare_agent start
HP-UX /sbin/init.d/aptare_agent start
