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.

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)
