How to auto-start CLM(Jazz) on RHEL7?


Masatoshi Nogo (524) | asked Dec 04 '16, 9:38 p.m.
I tried to search articles but couldn't find. Please help.
I'm struggling to start Jazz on RHEL7 which support systemd.

#1.Status
Followings are what I tried.
1.1.Create new file, named clm.service with following contents
================
[Unit]
Description = CLM Server

[Service]
ExecStart = /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.startup

Restart = always
Type = simple

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
================
1.2.
As root,
# systemctl enable clm
# systemctl start clm

Then, CLM service started, but could connect from Web browser (login window not shown)
  - Trial of OS reboot resulted same
  - If I type start command manually with root user, CLM started correctly.
       # ./server.startup

#2.Check
I added following lines to the end of server.startup
echo JAVA_OPTS=$JAVA_OPTS > /tmp/test.txt
echo CATALINA_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME >> /tmp/test.txt

As result diff of manual command(./server.startup) and auto-start (systemctl start clm) , environments were same.

You should use "Type=forking" in the unit file, as explained in the Red Hat document.
forking – The process started with ExecStart spawns a child process that becomes the main process of the service. The parent process exits when the startup is complete.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Unit_Files.html

So in my environment the unit file will look like this
[Unit]
Description = CLM Server

[Service]
ExecStart = /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer602/server/server.startup
ExecStop = /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer602/server/server.shutdown

Restart = always
Type = forking

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
After the service is started, if you run the command "systemctl status clm", you should see something like below:

clm.service - CLM Server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/clm.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2016-12-08 20:30:42 AEDT; 13s ago

(Sorry about the Japanese as I didn't spend time to change it, but you should get the idea.

It should be obvious that posting a question as an answer to a 4 year old question is a bad idea, yet so many do it. 


Consider creating your own question. 

While you are at it, you might want to try to collect some actionable data and provide it in your question. There is pretty much nothing I can see, except maybe "Start request repeated too quickly"
