The startNode command reads the configuration file for the
node agent process and constructs a launch command.
startNode command reads the configuration file
for the node agent process for a profile that has been added to the Network
Deployment cell and starts the server.
You do not have to use a user name and password with the startNode 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:
startNode [options]
Parameters
The following options are available for
the startNode command:
- -?
- Prints a usage statement.
- -curlib <product_library>
- Specifies the current library to use for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB)
CL command.
- -cpyenvvar
- Tells the startNode command to set the environment variables that
are currently defined for the node agent process. The default is to not set
the currently defined environment variables.
- -help
- Prints a usage statement.
- -inllibl <library_list>
- Specifies the initial library list to use for the underlying Submit Job
(SBMJOB) CL command.
- -inlaspgrp <ASP_group>
- Specifies the initial ASP group for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB)
CL command.
- -jobd <product_library/job_description>
- Specifies the job description for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL
command.
- -jobq <product_library/job_queue>
- Specifies the job queue for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL command.
- -nowait
- Tells the startNode command not to wait for successful initialization
of the launched node agent process.
- -outq <product_library/output_queue>
- Specifies the output queue for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL 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.
- -sbs <product_library/subsystem_description>
- Specifies the subsystem to use for the underlying Submit Job (SBMJOB)
CL command.
- -statusport <portNumber>
- An optional parameter that allows an administrator to set the port number
for node agent status callback. The tool opens this port and waits for status
callback from the node agent indicating that the node agent has started. If
the parameter is not set, an unused port is automatically allocated.
- -trace
- Enables tracing of the native process code that starts
the node agent. 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 node initialization times out and returns
an error.
- -usejobd
- Specifies to use the job description from the Submit Job (SBMJOB) process
for the node agent when switching to the Run-As user ID.
Note: This command
does not affect the USER field of the current job description.
Usage scenario
The following examples demonstrate
correct syntax:
startNode (Starts the node agent process for the default profile.
The default profile must belong to a Network Deployment cell.)
startNode -profileName mynode (Starts the node agent for the mynode profile
which belongs to a Network Deployment cell.)
startNode -trace (produces trace files in the profile_root/logs directory)
