hans@901: \section{Management of operational processes} hans@901: hans@921: For running the entire GNV-system the following components have to be hans@921: available in the described sequence: hans@921: \begin{enumerate} hans@921: \item Database server hans@921: \item Artefact-server hans@921: \item Apache Tomcat running the WebClient hans@921: \item Apache WebServer hans@921: \end{enumerate} hans@901: hans@901: During a server startup the installed components get started hans@901: automatically. hans@901: hans@921: \subsection{Managing the Artifact Server} hans@901: hans@921: \subsubsection*{Starting and Stopping} hans@901: hans@921: The artifact-server can be restarted without stopping the WebClient. hans@901: During the restart-process client accessing the server get an approriate hans@901: message.
