Starting the Unica Campaign listener manually

Start the Unica Campaign listener by running the cmpServer.bat file for Windows, or the rc.unica_ac command for UNIX.

About this task

Follow the instructions appropriate for your operating system.

Windows

Start the Unica Campaign listener by running the cmpServer.bat file in the bin directory under your Unica Campaign installation. When the unica_aclsnr.exe process appears on the Windows Task Manager Processes tab, the server has started successfully.

UNIX

Start the Unica Campaign listener by executing the rc.unica_ac program with a start argument. You must run this command as root. For example:

./rc.unica_ac start

To determine whether the unica_aclsnr process has started successfully, enter this command:

ps -ef | grep unica_aclsnr

To determine the process ID for the server you started, view the unica_aclsnr.pid file located in the conf directory under your Unica Campaign installation.

Note: Since Unica Campaign supports listener clustering, a loop is added in the rc.unica_ac which automatically restarts the listener if in case the listener goes down or crashes. Also, process rc.unica_ac still remains after starting listener and the parent process may change. For example, if you are upgrading from Release 8.6.0.4 to Release 9.1.1, the parent process of unica_aclsnr can be changed to rc.unica_ac instead of init, which was the former parent process and the process rc.unica_ac still remains after starting the listener.
