Can You confirm
This one will shows server tools is working or not
ps –ef | grep java – display current active processes from B1 Servertools
How can i know B1 services are running or not ?
Post authorAbdul,
Sorry I was notified about your comment earlier. Indeed the |grep java shows the active B1ServerTools processes. Together with servicelayer, these are the only B1 services running on the server.
