startManager command

Use the startManager command to manipulate a deployment manager with scripting.

You must run this command from the profile_root/bin directory of a Network Deployment installation.

The startManager command reads the configuration file for the deployment manager profile and starts the server.

You do not have to use a user name and password with the startManager command because this command launches a server process but does not invoke an MBean method.

For more information about where to run this command, see the Using command line tools article.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

startManager [server] [options]
where server is an optional parameter that specifies the name of the deployment manager server. If you do not specify this option and you use the deployment manager profile, server defaults to the deployment manager. If you do not specify this option and you specify a profile other than the deployment manager, server defaults to the name of the profile.

Because the deployment manager profile is not the default profile, you must specify the -profileName option when using the startManager command.

Parameters

The following options are available for the startManager command:

-profileName
Defines the profile of the Application Server process in a multi-profile installation. The -profileName option is not required for running in a single profile environment. The default for this option is the default profile.
-trace
Enables tracing of the native process code that starts the deployment manager server. The trace output is written to the was_jobname-jobuser-jobnum.log file which is located in the profile_root/logs directory.
-timeout <seconds>
Specifies the waiting time before deployment manager initialization times out and returns an error.
-cpyenvvar
Tells the startServer command to set the environment variables that are currently defined for the application server process. The default is to not set the currently defined environment variables.
-help
Prints a usage statement.
-?
Prints a usage statement.

Usage scenario

The following examples demonstrate correct syntax:
startManager -profileName dmgr (starts the deployment manager for the dmgr profile)

startManager -trace (produces trace files in the profile_root/logs directory)
