About Starting the SIMULIA Execution Engine Server

The SIMULIA Execution Engine is started and initialized when the WebLogic application server is started and when the SIMULIA Execution Engine application deployed on the server is put into the running state. Typically this process is performed automatically when the application server is started.

The startup scripts, described below, should be used to start the server. The server log will show details of the SIMULIA Execution Engine startup and initialization sequence, starting with a message similar to the following, where <server_name> is the name of your application server:

SIMULIA Execution Engine (SINGLE) starting on server 
"<server_name>".

This message is followed by a number of initialization messages. When initialization is complete, a message appears similar to the following:

SIMULIA Execution Engine server startup completed.

All SIMULIA Execution Engine WebLogic servers are started using startup scripts. When you use the SIMULIA Execution Engine configuration templates to create a domain, the domain directory of the host machine includes the following startup scripts:

  • startWebLogic. This script starts the SIMULIA Execution Engine Administration Server. For more information on using this script, see Starting the Administration Server.

  • startManagedServer. This script starts the Managed Servers (when using horizontal or vertical targeting). For more information on using this script, see Starting the Managed Servers.

Important: This script does not use WebLogic Node Managers to start managed servers. In other words, the Administration Console cannot be used to start and stop any of the SIMULIA Execution Engine Managed Servers.
