Starting Listener Daemon for the First Time

Use

Follow these steps to start the Application Server TCP/IP Listener daemon, called lsstld. This program is a Linux/UNIX daemon, a process that runs continually without being connected to a terminal. In this case, lsstld is listening for Application Server TCP/IP connections on the specific port number (the default is 8325).

Once you are sure that the software is installed correctly, you can add the commands to your system’s startup files so that the Application Server listener starts up automatically whenever the system is restarted. For information, see the Application Server Administrator's Guide available on the SAP Hel Portal at https://help.sap.com/viewer/p/SAP_STRATEGY_MANAGEMENT.

Prerequisites

Application Server is installed on the Linux/UNIX server.

Procedure

  1. Log on as root. You must log on as root because the listener process establishes sessions on behalf of the Linux/UNIX user accounts.

  2. Go to the directory where the Application Server components are installed. For example:

    cd /<installdir>

  3. Run the shell script to start the Listener:

    sh tldgo

Result

When lsstld has initialized, it creates a log file called LSSTLD.LOG in the current directory, and displays the following messages:

********************************************************************
