Each of the BA design tools has a specific function, so you start and stop each one individually. As part of the Installation Wizard, Archive Installation, and Manual Installation, we provide different ways to help you start each design tool, depending on the operating system you use. This table shows you options. After you have decided how you want to start and stop the design tools, please go on to the next stop on the Guide Post graphic.
