### Forcing Activation of an Implementation

Registering an implementation in the implementation repository does not automatically activate the implementation. Usually a non-persistent implementation is only activated by the BOA daemon when its service is requested by a client. But sometimes you have to force activation of an implementation, for instance to make the implementation register itself with a naming service.

      imr activate <name> [<micod-address>]

will activate the implementation named `<name>`. To do this `imr` needs to know the address of the BOA daemon. Usually this is the same address as for the implementation repository and you do not need to specify `<micod-address>`. Only if the BOA daemon is bound to an address different from the implementation repository address and different from the addresses specified using the `-ORBBindAddr` option you have to specify `<micod-address>` as a command line option to `imr`.
