Starting, stopping, and restarting a Manager

The ShareScan Manager runs as a Windows service. You can start, stop, and restart the ShareScan Manager from the Administration Console.

To switch between ShareScan Managers, click the Remote Management button, which displays a list of ShareScan Managers registered in the database to which the Administration Console is currently connected. The ShareScan Manager that you are configuring is grayed out.

Also, you can check the currently managed ShareScan manager instance if you look at the status bar of the Administration Console (at the left-lower edge of the window).

Double-click or search for a ShareScan Manager by specifying a name in the Search by name or IP address field. When the Manager name appears in the list, click the button next to it. The system prompts you to save any unsaved data and gives you an opportunity to terminate the operation. The status bar reflects the new Manager information. After confirmation, the configuration data of the selected Manager is read into the Administration Console.

You can Start, Stop, or Restart the ShareScan Manager according to whether it is in a standard or a Network Load Balancing environment.

This also involves starting, stopping, or restarting the Tomcat service.
