Verify That SPD Server 4.5 Is Running

If you connected to SPD Server through a SAS connection, verify that both the SPD Server name server (spdsnsrv) and the SPD Server host (sdpsserv) processes are running.
  1. Issue the UNIX ps command. You should see processes for spdsnsrv, spdsserv, spdsbase (row-level integrity proxy), and spdssnet as shown in the following example:
      PID TTY          TIME CMD
    24012 pts/26   00:00:00 ksh
    24114 pts/26   00:00:00 spdsnsrv
    24116 pts/26   00:00:00 spdslog
    24117 pts/26   00:00:00 spdsserv
    24119 pts/26   00:00:00 spdslog
    24120 pts/26   00:00:00 spdssnet
    24130 pts/26   00:00:00 spdslog
    24136 pts/26   00:00:00 spdsbase
    24139 pts/26   00:00:00 ps
    
  2. If the spds* processes are not running, check the logs for errors. Unless you change the log file defaults in rc.spds, the following log paths apply:
    • InstallDir/log/spdsnsrv.log
    • InstallDir/log/spdsnsrv_mmddyyyy_hh:mm:ss.spdslog
    • InstallDir/log/spdsserv.log
    • InstallDir/log/spdsserv_mmddyyyy_hh:mm:ss.spdslog
    • InstallDir/log/spdssnet.log
    • InstallDir/log/spdssnet_mmddyyyy_hh:mm:ss.spdslog
  3. If there were problems during start-up and any processes failed to initialize, terminate the remaining SPD Server processes before re-invoking the rc.spds script. Use the killspds shell script in the \samples directory, or terminate the process manually using the UNIX kill command as shown in the following example:
    $ kill 834 831 832 836 835 
Upgrade Notice: If you have upgraded from SPD Server 3.x to SPD Server 4.5 and you are satisfied with your SPD Server installation, you should copy the libnames.parm file from your SPD Server 3.x location to your SPD Server 4.5 location. The new libnames.parm file overwrites the temporary file that was created when you verified your SPD Server 4.5 installation. The new file provides you with access to all of the SPD Server 3.x LIBNAME domains from your previous environment.
