Chapter 1. Starting the FUSE ESB Runtime

The default way for deploying the FUSE ESB runtime is to deploy it as a standalone server with an active console. You can also deploy the runtime to run as a background process without a console.

Setting up your environment

You can start the FUSE ESB runtime from the installation directory without doing any work. However, if you want to start it in a different folder you will need to do the following:

Add the bin directory of your FUSE ESB installation to the PATH.

Windows

          set PATH=%PATH%;InstallDir\bin

*NIX

          export PATH=$PATH,InstallDir/bin

Add a folder called deploy to the folder from which you intend to start the FUSE ESB runtime.
This folder is the hot deployment folder from which bundles and JBI artifacts will be loaded.
For more information see Configuring the Hot Deployment System.
Copy the desired bundles and JBI artifacts from InstallDir/deploy into the new deploy folder.
These components will be automatically available when the FUSE ESB runtime starts. You can add more components as they are needed.

Launching the runtime

If you are launching the FUSE ESB runtime from the installation directory use the following command:

Windows

      bin\servicemix.bat

*NIX

      bin/servicemix

If you are launching it another directory and already performed the steps in Setting up your environment, use the servicemix command.

If the FUSE ESB runtime starts up correctly you should see the following on the console:

 ____                  _          __  __ _       
/ ___|  ___ _ ____   _(_) ___ ___|  \/  (_)_  __
\___ \ / _ \ '__\ \ / / |/ __/ _ \ |\/| | \ \/ /
 ___) |  __/ |   \ V /| | (_|  __/ |  | | |>  <
|____/ \___|_|    \_/ |_|\___\___|_|  |_|_/_/\_\

	By default, remote console access is enabled and largely unsecured. The username and password are not validated. In a production environment, you should either disable the remote console or configuring real authentication using JAAS.

Launching the runtime without a local console

To launch the FUSE ESB runtime without a local console you use the following command:

Windows

      bin\servicemix.bat server

*NIX

      bin/servicemix server

If you are launching it another directory and already performed the steps in Setting up your environment, use the servicemix server command.

Launching the runtime with only a local console

In production environments you may want to have a runtime instance accessible using only a local console. You can do this by launching the runtime in client mode using the following command:

Windows

      bin\servicemix.bat client

*NIX

      bin/servicemix client

If you are launching it another directory and already performed the steps in Setting up your environment, use the servicemix client command.

If the FUSE ESB runtime starts up correctly you should see the following on the console:

 ____                  _          __  __ _       
/ ___|  ___ _ ____   _(_) ___ ___|  \/  (_)_  __
\___ \ / _ \ '__\ \ / / |/ __/ _ \ |\/| | \ \/ /
