•Activating CSR, page 3-1

•Deactivating CSR , page 3-3

Activating CSR

This section provides instructions on running single and multiple instances of the CSR application. The CSR application typically is installed to run at one instance on a dedicated machine, although it can be run at multiple instances on the same machine.

Single Instance

Before activating the CSR application, the postgreSQL database must be installed and set up for use. A database named “csrdb” must be loaded into the application. You can use either of the following methods to activate the CSR application.

CSR as a Daemon

The daemon file is located in directory /etc/init.d/csr_init, and it accepts only the start parameter.

Step 1 To activate CSR, enter the following command:

csr_init start

You may be prompted for the postgres (UNIX user) password.

Step 2 To verify that CSR is running, enter the following command:

ps –ef command

You also can check the syslog files for the first message that the CSR prints to the logs. The message should be a startup message.
