Starting and Stopping HP OpenCall SS7

You can start the HP OpenCall SS7 software either automatically or manually. However, do not try to start a system manually if you have already configured an automatic start, as this results in a second instance of the FTC trying to start.




	NOTE: To provide an HA service, you must use an automatic start.

Configuring Automatic Start-up

Add the command ss7Start to the end of the file /etc/inittab so that HP OpenCall SS7 starts after ntp. Uncomment the line as shown below:
hpoc:3456:respawn:/opt/OC/bin/ss7Start -foreground > /var/opt/OC/logs/ss7Start.log 2>&1
As root, run the command init q so that the file is re-read and the changes are taken into account.

Starting the Platform Manually

You can also run the ss7start command manually from the command line. Do this either as ocadmin or as root.

Stopping HP OpenCall SS7

To stop HP OpenCall SS7:

If necessary, prevent an automatic restart. This is required for certain maintenance tasks. See “Preventing Automatic Start-up”.
Run the command ss7Stop -ftc. This stops the FTC and HA processes (FTC, SS7 Stack and SS7 Waiter) started by the FTC.




	NOTE: The Platform Management tools stop when you stop HP OpenCall SS7.

Preventing Automatic Start-up

To prevent an automatic ss7Start respawn in inittab:

Comment out the line containing the ss7Start command:

hpoc:3456:respawn:/opt/OC/bin/ss7Start -foreground > /var/opt/OC/logs/ss7Start.log 2>&1

As root, run the command init q to force init to re-read inittab.
