Starting, Stopping, and Accessing the Oozie Server

Starting the Oozie Server

After you have completed all of the required configuration steps, you can start Oozie:

sudo service oozie start

If you see the message Oozie System ID [oozie-oozie] started in the oozie.log log file, the system has started successfully.

Stopping the Oozie Server

sudo service oozie stop

Accessing the Oozie Server with the Oozie Client

The Oozie client is a command-line utility that interacts with the Oozie server using the Oozie web-services API.

Use the /usr/bin/oozie script to run the Oozie client.

For example, if you want to invoke the client on the same machine where the Oozie server is running:

$ oozie admin -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -status
System mode: NORMAL

To make it convenient to use this utility, set the environment variable OOZIE_URL to point to the URL of the Oozie server. Then you can skip the -oozie option.

For example, if you want to invoke the client on the same machine where the Oozie server is running, set the OOZIE_URL to http://localhost:11000/oozie.

$ export OOZIE_URL=http://localhost:11000/oozie
$ oozie admin -version
Oozie server build version: 4.0.0-cdh5.0.0

Accessing the Oozie Server with a Browser

If you have enabled the Oozie web console by adding the ExtJS library, you can connect to the console at http://<OOZIE_HOSTNAME>:11000/oozie.
