Type the following into the Terminal window (the examples assume you have retained the default directory structure):
If your server is a Windows machine, the Enterprise by HansaWorld server application is a service that by default will be launched automatically when you start up the server machine. If for some reason the service does not start automatically, open the Control Panel and double-click 'Administrative Tools' and then 'Services'. Find and select 'HansaWorld Enterprise 6.4 121119 Service' in the list and choose to start the service. (The name may vary slightly, depending on the precise version of Enterprise by HansaWorld you are using.) Users will now be able to log on to work in any of the Companies stored in the database on the server. To log in, follow the procedure described in the 'Single-user and Client' section immediately below. You can now leave the server alone. For details about shutting down the server, please refer to the Shutting Down page. Launching the Server with Parameters
An alternative method that you can use to launch the server application with parameters is to place the parameter in a text file named "parameters.txt" and save this file in the same folder or directory as the server application. Then, launch the server application as described towards the beginning of this page. You should only place the parameter (--backup in this example) in the "parameters.txt" file: do not include ./Enterprise in the file. You can place more than one parameter in the "parameters.txt" file. You can place the parameters on the same line in the file, or you can use separate lines. If you do not want the task launched by a particular parameter to be repeated the next time you launch the application, remember to remove that parameter from the "parameters.txt" file once the task has been completed. You can use the "parameters.txt" file with every version of the Enterprise by HansaWorld application (i.e. the command line application (Mac OS X and Linux), the service application (Windows) and the GUI applications). In the case of the service application, the "parameters.txt" file is the only way to launch the server application with parameters. In the case of Linux, which is case-sensitive, the filename "parameters.txt" should be in lowercase as written here. Single-user and Client If you have a single Company in your database, it will be loaded by default and you will be ready to start work. If you have more than one Company, the 'Select Company' window will appear, asking you to choose the Company you want to work in. In a multi-user system, the 'Select Company' window will always appear, asking you to choose the Company you want to work in, even if there is only one.
