syncNode command

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.
-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.sh testhost 8879

syncNode.sh deploymgr 8879 -trace (produces the syncNode.log file)

syncNode.sh host25 4444 -stopservers -restart 
(assumes that the deployment manager JMX port is 4444)
