Starting Integration Server on UNIX
Keep the following points in mind when starting Integration Server on UNIX using the startup.sh script file:
*Run the startup.sh script only when logged in as a non-root user. Running the script as root might reduce the security of your system.
*The server can consume more files and sockets on a UNIX system than on other systems. Therefore, if you are running the server on a UNIX system, IBM recommends that run it with at least 1024 file descriptors. You can increase the number of available file descriptors by entering the following command from the UNIX command prompt before starting the server:
ulimit -n number
*To start Integration Server on UNIX
1. Navigate to the following directory:
Integration Server_directory\instances\instance_name\bin
where instance_name is the name of the Integration Server instance.
2. Execute the startup.sh script file.
