startNode command

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 WebSphere® Application Server, 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.
-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 WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell.)

startNode -profileName mynode (Starts the node agent for the mynode profile
which belongs to a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment cell.)

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