Starting, Stopping, and Accessing 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.

$ sudo service oozie stop

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

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.
