Start an Instance
You start a stopped instance from the Instance Explorer. The instance must be already listed because it is connected (see Connect to an Actian Database Instance). You can also start an instance as a service on Microsoft Windows installations.
To start an instance
1. Right-click the installation node in the Instance Explorer.
2. Select Start on the context menu. Or if the instance is on a Windows installation, select Start as instance.
The Start dialog appears (see Start Confirmation and Progress Dialog). The instance starts, displaying progress in the dialog.
3. Click Close to close the dialog.
