Independent operation of Data Archive processes

Under normal operation, all Data Archive processes start up together using the pisrvstart script and stop together using the pisrvstop script. When troubleshooting, you might want to run a subset of Data Archive processes. On Windows, pisrvstart.bat starts each subsystem interactively in its own command window.

There are inter-process dependencies in Data Archive. For example, all Data Archive subsystems rely on PINet Manager. Most subsystems require PI License Manager, which provides license services, and PI Update Manager, which provides key services, to be running. Also, PI Archive Subsystem requires PI Snapshot Subsystem for normal startup. Generally when troubleshooting, start the following subsystems in the order listed:

1. pinetmgr

2. pimsgss

3. pilicmgr

4. piupdmgr

5. pibasess

6. pisnapss

7. piarchss
