Use the startManager command to manipulate a deployment manager
with scripting.
The startManager command reads the configuration
file for the Network Deployment manager process and constructs a launch command.
Depending on the options you specify, the startManager command launches
a new Java virtual machine (JVM) API to run the manager process, or writes
the launch command data to a file.
You must run this command from the profile_root/bin directory
of a Network Deployment installation.
For more information about where to run this command, see the Using
command line tools article.
Syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
Parameters
The following options are available for
the startManager command:
- -quiet
- Suppresses the progress information that the startManager command
prints in normal mode.
- -logfile <fileName>
- Specifies the location of the log file to which trace information is written.
By default, the log file is named startServer.log and is created in your logs directory.
- -replacelog
- Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.
- -trace
- Generates trace information into a file using the startManager command
for debugging purposes.
- -timeout <seconds>
- Specifies the waiting time before deployment manager initialization times
out and returns an error.
- -statusport <portNumber>
- An optional parameter that allows an administrator to set the port number
for deployment manager status callback. The tool opens this port and waits
for status callback from the deployment manager indicating that the deployment
manager has started. If the parameter is not set, an unused port is automatically
allocated.
- -script [<script fileName>] -background
- Generates a launch script with the startManager command instead
of launching the deployment manager process directly. The launch script name
is an optional argument. If you do not provide the launch script name, the
default script file name is <start_dmgr>. The -background parameter
is an optional parameter that specifies that the generated script will run
in the background when you execute it.
- -help
- Prints a usage statement.
- -?
- Prints a usage statement.
Usage scenario
The
following examples demonstrate correct syntax:
startManager
startManager -script (produces the start_dmgr.sh file)
startManager -trace (produces the startmanager.log file)
