Which sequence should be followed while starting ECE?

Question

Options

• AServices server, Message server, File server, Database server, Application server
• BNo mandatory sequence is needed
• CServices server, Message server, Database server, File server, Application server
• DServices server, File server, Database server, Message server, Application server

• A
  88% (53)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  3% (2)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Option A reflects the documented startup sequence for Cisco ECE (Enterprise Chat and Email), where each component has dependencies on the one before it: the Services server provides the foundational layer, the Message server relies on those services for inter-component communication, the File server depends on messaging infrastructure, the Database server initializes after the file layer is stable, and the Application server starts last since it depends on all underlying components being ready.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because ECE has strict dependency chains - starting components out of order causes initialization failures or runtime errors.
• C (Services → Message → Database → File → Application) is wrong because the File server must come online before the Database server in ECE's architecture.
• D (Services → File → Database → Message → Application) is wrong because the Message server must precede the File server, not follow the Database server.

Memory tip: Use the phrase "Some Monkeys Freak During Attacks" - Services, Message, File, Database, Application - to lock in the correct order.
