Appian on premise automating Appian start and shutdown

Question

Hi All, 
 
 Is there any way to automate Appian Application (App Server, search Server, data Server and Engines) shutdown and start for Appian on premise? 
 
 Thanks

Yes, I've seen it done before. Basically create a shell script with the commands and the ability to check the status of the engines start script. You just schedule that script via cron and there you go. Perhaps ChatGPT could help you generate a first version of the script.

Hi rishub9520 , Yes you can do it, just write a batch script and your work gets done. For a instance, I've done the work for you, just change the path and password in the below script and save the script as start.bat/stop.bat For starting the Appian Server, code follows: start.bat @echo off set APPIAN_HOME=C:\Appian\Appian echo Starting Appian Engines... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\services\bin\start.bat" -p "" -s all echo Starting Data Server... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\data-server\bin\start.bat" echo Starting Search Server... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\search-server\bin\start.bat" echo Starting App Server (Tomcat)... call "%APPIAN_HOME% omcat\apache-tomcat\bin\start-appserver.bat" echo Appian has been started successfully. pause For stopping the Appian Server, code follows: stop.bat @echo off set APPIAN_HOME=C:\Appian\Appian echo Stopping Appian Engines... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\services\bin\stop.bat" -p "" -s all echo Stopping Data Server... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\data-server\bin\stop.bat" echo Stopping Search Server... call "%APPIAN_HOME%\search-server\bin\stop.bat" echo Stopping App Server (Tomcat)... call "%APPIAN_HOME% omcat\apache-tomcat\bin\stop-appserver.bat" echo Appian shutdown completed. pause Note : Run cmd as Administrator and call the files as start.bat or stop.bat. I've ran the script in my pc, its working fine for On-premise server Check the below screenshots: Hope this helps you!!!
