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 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.
-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 product cell.)

startNode -profileName mynode (Starts the node agent for the mynode profile
which belongs to a product cell.)

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