The default way for deploying the Fuse ESB Enterprise runtime is to deploy it as a standalone server with an active console. You can also deploy the runtime to run as a background process without a console.

You can start the Fuse ESB Enterprise runtime from the installation directory without doing any work. However, if you want to start it in a different folder you will need to add the bin directory of your Fuse ESB Enterprise installation to the PATH environment variable, as follows:

Windows

set PATH=%PATH%;InstallDir\bin

*NIX

export PATH=$PATH,InstallDir/bin

If you are launching the Fuse ESB Enterprise runtime from the installation directory use the following command:

Windows

bin\fuseesb.bat

*NIX

bin/fuseesb

If Fuse ESB Enterprise starts up correctly you should see the following on the console:

 
|  ___|                 |  ___|/  ___|| ___ \
| |_  _   _  ___   ___  | |__  \ `--. | |_/ /
|  _|| | | |/ __| / _ \ |  __|  `--. \| ___ \
| |  | |_| |\__ \|  __/ | |___ /\__/ /| |_/ /
\_|   \__,_||___/ \___| \____/ \____/ \____/

Launching in server mode runs Fuse ESB Enterprise in the background, without a local console. You would then connect to the running instance using a remote console. See Connecting and Disconnecting Remotely for details.

To launch Fuse ESB Enterprise in server mode, run the following

Windows

bin\fuseesb.bat server

*NIX

bin/fuseesb server

Alternatively, you can launch Fuse ESB Enterprise in server mode using the start script in the InstallDir/bin directory.

In production environments you may want to have a runtime instance accessible using only a local console. In other words, you cannot connect to the runtime remotely. You can do this by launching the runtime in client mode using the following command:

Windows

bin\fuseesb.bat client

*NIX

bin/fuseesb client
