Starting a local ArcSDE service on UNIX or Linux

The sdemon command is used to manage ArcSDE services configured on UNIX and Linux systems.

When starting a service on the local machine, there is no need to specify the server name; the local host is assumed.

You must be logged in as either the owner of the ArcSDE service's home directory, $SDEHOME, or as the root user to start an ArcSDE service.

Steps:
  1. Type the sdemon command with the start operation to start the ArcSDE service.
  2. sdemon –o start –i 4000
    NoteNote:

    If using the default service port number, 5151, you do not need to specify the –i option.

  3. You will be prompted to type a password. Type the password of the ArcSDE administrative user. The password is not displayed on the screen for system security.

    Please enter the ArcSDE DBA password:

TipTip:
For details on the use of sdemon and other administration commands, consult the Administration Command Reference that is provided with the ArcSDE component of ArcGIS Server at the Enterprise level.
