Start a platform

After a platform is stopped, it can be restarted by Platform Manager in either the on scan or off scan state if its Start Up mode is configured to Manual Start. You can verify the platform’s configuration from the IDE.

If a platform’s Start Up mode is configured to Auto Start, then it starts automatically in its last checkpointed scan state when the power is reapplied to the computer.

To start a platform

1. From the details pane, right-click the platform, and then select Start Platform. The Startup Platform dialog box appears.

   

2. Select Off Scan or On Scan, and then select OK to set the platform’s startup scan state.

   The platform begins to start and its status changes from Shutdown to Starting Off Scan or Starting On Scan. After the platform starts successfully, its status changes from Starting Off Scan or Starting On Scan to Running Off Scan or Running On Scan. If the platform is running off scan, an asterisk will precede the platform name in the console tree. No asterisk will be displayed if the platform is running on scan.

   The status of all hosted engines changes from Shutdown to Running Off Scan.
