Displaying the transport type of your catalog service domain

[Version 8.6 and later] You can display the transport type that is currently being used for your catalog service domain.

Before you begin

You can display the transport types that are being used in a stand-alone catalog service domain or a catalog service domain that is running in WebSphere® Application Server.

If you are using a stand-alone catalog service domain, use the xscmd utility to display the transport information about the catalog service domain. For more information about setting up the xscmd utility, see Administering with the xscmd utility.
If you have a catalog service domain that is running in WebSphere Application Server, you can use the wsadmin utility to display the transport type. For more information about the wsadmin utility, see Starting the wsadmin scripting client using wsadmin scripting.

Procedure

Display the transport type of a stand-alone catalog service domain.
In the xscmd utility, run the following command:
- ./xscmd.sh -c showTransport
- xscmd.bat -c showTransport
The command displays the transport type. The values that might display are: eXtremeIO or Object Request Broker.
Display the transport type of a catalog service domain that is running in WebSphere Application Server.
- In the administrative console, click System administration > WebSphere eXtreme Scale > Catalog service domains > catalog_service_domain_name. Check if the Enable IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) communication setting is selected.
- In the wsadmin utility, run the following command:
  - Using Jacl:
```
$AdminTask getTransport {-domainName TestDomain }
```
  - Using Jython string:
```
AdminTask.getTransport ('[-domainName testDomain]')
```
  The command displays the transport type. The values that might display are: eXtremeIO or Object Request Broker. If you run this command on a catalog service domain that contains remote servers, or if the catalogServerName is a remote server, an error results. You must use the xscmd -c showTransport command for remote servers. For more information about the getTransport command in the wsadmin utility, see Catalog service domain administrative tasks.
