how to stop/start Jaspersoft on AWS for import command line

[patrick.dewitt]

Hi,

I am having trouble with importing an export from my laptop to Jaspersoft on AWS. I am using the command line for export and import. For the import the Jaspersoft Server should be stopped to avoid issues, like the manual says. So I want to bring it down, but only Jaspersoft, not the EC2 instance, because I need to work on it.

Now I can't find the stop/start command's on the EC2 instance. Can anyone tell me where to find them and how they should be used. The file recommended in the installation guide "ctlscript.sh" is not there.

Kind regards,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

In order to stop / start the Jaspersoft instance, you should use the following commands:

• Stop: sudo service tomcat7 stop
• Start: sudo service tomcat7 start

Also, while not on the exact same topic, you can reference this article that details how to transfer files to the machine and in-part stop / start the service: http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/aws-remote-machine-login-and-file-transfer

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks,
Assaf

Hi Assaf,

Thanks for the answers and the link. I will try stop and start command tomorrow. I am now using Putty and PSFTP (from Putty), but maybe I will try the stuff from the link.

Kind regards,

Hi Assaf

I tried the connection from the EC2 Manager and it works fine just like Putty. I also have tried the SFTP from the plugin menu and it works fine also. For now I have no reason to use Winscp. AWS has provided the tools to make it work.

Kind regards,

Patrick
