Launching PTC Arbortext Content Delivery
To launch PTC Arbortext Content Delivery you must first start the following components, in the order listed here:
1. Publisher and Viewer entities. Run the startInService.bat file to start the entities as specified in configurator.xml. To run this file, perform the following steps:
a. Open the command prompt as administrator, and navigate to the folder ..\<INS_HOME>\InS_SW\SW where PTC Arbortext Content Delivery is installed.
b. On Windows, run the startInService.bat file. On Linux, open a terminal and run the startInService.sh command.
2. The Windchill Directory Server. However, you must perform these steps only when Windchill Directory Server is installed as part of PTC Arbortext Content Delivery setup. To start the Windchill Directory Server use the following procedure:
On Windows, open the command prompt as administrator, navigate to the \InS_SW\SW\System\WindchillDS\server\bat\ folder, and run the start-ds.bat file.
On Linux, navigate to the \InS_SW\SW\System\WindchillDS\server\bin\ folder, open a terminal, and run the start-ds.sh file.
Once these components have been started you can access PTC Arbortext Content Delivery using the following URLs:

3. Your database.The external database (Oracle, SQL, or PostgreSQL) configured with PTC Arbortext Content Delivery must be up and running.
4. Optional: You can also use an advanced option to manually start all the entities services. For Publisher, it starts the Core, Core CMI, and JBOSS services. For Viewer, the entity that you have configured on the Viewer (specified in the configurator.xml file) is launched. For example, if you have configured core1, coreCMI1, and viewer1, then these entities are launched for Viewer instead of JBoss.
To launch the Core Server use one of the following scripts:
Windows: <SW_DIR>/coreServer.bat
UNIX: coreServer.sh
To launch the Core CMI Server use one of the following scripts:
Windows: <SW_DIR>/coreCMIServer.bat
UNIX: coreCMIServer.sh
To launch JBoss use one of the following scripts (only for Publisher):
Windows: <SW_DIR>/jboss.bat
UNIX: jboss.sh
To launch other entities, search for the .bat file that holds the entity name as configured in the configurator.xml file.
Launching PTC Arbortext Content Delivery from Windows or Linux
Once the Publisher installation is complete, all the entities—CoreServer, CoreCMIServer, and Jboss get registered as either a Windows Service or a Linux Process.
For Windows, navigate to <INS_HOME>/InS_SW/SW/ and launch command prompt as an administrator, then run the startInService.bat file to launch the server using the services.
For Linux, navigate to <INS_HOME>/InS_SW/SW/ and launch terminal, then run the startInService.sh file to launch the server using the process.
Once the Viewer/Viewers are installed in case of Split or Cluster, you can see the entities name as declared in Configurator UI— like Core, CoreCMI, and Viewer.
For Windows, navigate to <INS_HOME>/InS_SW/SW/ and launch command prompt, then run the startInService.bat file to launch the server using the services.
For Linux, navigate to <INS_HOME>/InS_SW/SW/ and launch terminal, then run the startInService.sh file to launch the server using the process.
* 
Wait for five minutes after running the .bat file to make sure all the services are up and running, and then try accessing the server URL.
