It is of paramount importance that all users log off Power-Gx before shutting
down the system, otherwise you could corrupt your data. This topic explains
how to shut down mvBase (the database environment within which Power-Gx
operates) correctly before the server can be switched off. You should work on
the server that the system is installed on.
1. On the server desktop or start menu, select the mvBase Administration
Utility. mvBase is comprised of two services, the Workstation Service
and the Server Service, both of which need to be shutdown. You should
start with the Workstation Service.
2. Start
by clicking the Workstation tab.
3. Click Workstation Service line. The Stop button will become
active.
4. Click on the Stop button.
5. Click Yes at the prompt “Are you sure you want to stop the mvBase
Workstation service?”. The status of the Workstation Service should
change to Stopped after a few seconds. The Workstation Service has
now been shutdown correctly.
6. You
should now stop the Server Service. Click on the Server tab. The
following window will be displayed.
7. Click Server Service line. The Stop button will become active.
8. Click on the Stop button.
9. Click Yes at the prompt “Are you sure you want to stop the mvBASE
Server service?”. The status of the Server Service should change to
Stopped after a few seconds. The Server Service has now been
shutdown correctly.
10. When both the Workstation Service and the Server Service have been
successfully shutdown, the server can be switched off.
