startNode command
The startNode command reads the configuration file for the node agent process and constructs a launch command.
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 Using command-line tools.
Syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
startNode [options]Parameters
The following options are available for the startNode command:
- -?
- Prints a usage statement.
- -help
- Prints a usage statement.
![[z/OS]](../images/ngzos.svg)
-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 profile_root/logs directory.
- -quiet
- Suppresses the progress information that the startNode command
prints in normal mode.
- -replacelog
- Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.
- -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
- Generates trace information to the log file
for debugging purposes.
- -timeout <seconds>
- Specifies the waiting time before node initialization times out and returns an error.
Usage scenario
The following examples demonstrate correct syntax:
startNode
startNode -trace (produces additional trace statements in the startnode.log file)
