Start Director
Note:  An appropriate version of Java must be installed on the system before Director can be started. For more information, see Java Requirement.
IMPORTANT!  If this is the first time you are using Director, you must first start the management server (iimgmtsvr) on the client machine and in every database instance where the management server is installed. For Linux systems, you also will need to manually restart iimgmtsvr every time the machine is rebooted. For how to start iimgmtsvr, see iimgmtsvr Command—Start the iimgmtsvr Process.
