Managing the Engine

This section describes how to pause, start, or stop the engine (bfengine.exe / bfengine.pl).

Note: If you have any problems getting the engine to run, run it in the foreground so that you can see the status and error messages it generates. On Windows, select Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Build Forge > Start Engine (Foreground) to run the engine in the foreground, which causes it to display output in a console window. When the engine is running in the foreground, you can stop it by closing its console window.
