Start the MineMarket Services

Use this activity to start the MineMarket services.

The following services must be started in this order:

  1. MineMarket Service
  2. Net.TCP Port Sharing Service (if MineMarket object change notification is enabled)
  3. MineMarket Marketing Service OR Marketing Service Orchestrator followed by Marketing Service Farms

    Important: From MineMarket 5.6, two orchestrator options are available. If using the Marketing Service Orchestrator, do not start the regular MineMarket Marketing Service. If using the Marketing Service On-demand Orchestrator, the regular MineMarket Marketing Service can be started at this step. See MineMarket Marketing Service Farms for information about the orchestrator options.

  4. MineMarket Export and Reports Service
  5. IMS Integration Hub Service (if installed).

The MineMarket Search Service is independent of the other services, and can be started at any time.

The MineMarket Information Services are independent of the other services; however, must be started in the following order:

  1. MineMarket Data Mart Service
  2. MineMarket Data Mart Agent
  3. MineMarket Data Service
  4. MineMarket Reporting Service

Note: If another process is already using the database, the MineMarket Service cannot be started. This is to prohibit more than one server process hitting the same database at the same time, causing database integrity issues.

The IP Address/Port of the server is written to the ParamServerLock table. When starting, server processes check this table, and if another server is running they will not start (but if it is their own address, they will restart, to allow for crashes). When shutting down, the component removes this row from the table.

The KeyServer table is known as the ParamKeyServer table so that any server processes built before the check of the ParamServerLock table will not start up at all, thereby forcing server processes to be the latest version.
