The syncNode command forces a configuration synchronization
to occur between the node and the deployment manager for the cell
in which the node is configured.
The node agent server runs a configuration synchronization service
that keeps the node configuration synchronized with the master cell
configuration. If the node agent is unable to run because of a problem
in the node configuration, you can use the syncNode command to perform
a synchronization when the node agent is not running in order to force
the node configuration back in sync with the cell configuration. If
the node agent is running and you want to run the syncNode command,
you must first stop the node agent.
The syncNode.log file is located in the profile_root/logs directory.
For more information about where to run this command, see the Using
command tools topic.
Syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
syncNode <deploymgr host> <deploymgr port> [options]
- The <deploymgr host> argument is required.
- The <deploymgr port> is the Java Management
Extensions (JMX) port number that corresponds to the connector type
on the -conntype parameter.
Parameters
The following options are available
for the syncNode command:
- -stopservers
- Tells the syncNode command to stop all servers on the node,
including the node agent, before performing configuration synchronization
with the cell.
- -restart
- Tells the syncNode command to launch the node agent process
after configuration synchronization completes. If the node agent is
running and you want to run the syncNode command, you must first stop
the node agent.
- -nowait
- Tells the syncNode command not to wait for successful initialization
of the launched node agent process.
- -quiet
- Suppresses the progress information that the syncNode 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 syncNode.log and is
created in the logs directory of the profile for the node
that you are synchronizing.
- -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.
- -replacelog
- Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.
- -trace
- Generates trace information into a file for debugging purposes.
- -timeout <seconds>
- Specifies the waiting time before node agent initialization times
out and returns an error.
- -username <name>
- Specifies the user name for authentication if security is enabled.
Acts the same as the -user option.
- -user <name>
- Specifies the user name for authentication if security is enabled.
Acts the same as the -username option.
- -password <password>
- Specifies the password for authentication if security is enabled.
- -conntype <type>
- Specifies the Java Management Extensions (JMX)
connector type to use for connecting to the deployment manager. Valid
types are SOAP or Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The default type
is SOAP.
- -help
- Prints a usage statement.
- -?
- Prints a usage statement.
Usage scenario
The following examples demonstrate
correct syntax:
syncNode testhost 8879
syncNode deploymgr 8879 -trace (produces the syncNode.log file)
syncNode host25 4444 -stopservers -restart
(assumes that the deployment manager JMX port is 4444)
