Starting as-router

as-router is provided as a native executable only.

Procedure

  1. Ensure the ActiveSpaces /bin directory is defined in the path environment variable. Go to the ActiveSpaces /bin directory.
    • Microsoft Windows default location: <TIBCO_HOME>\as\<version>\bin
    • UNIX/Linux default location: /opt/tibco/as/<version>/bin
  2. Start as-router as follows: 
                as-router –router_listen <url>
Where:
 <url> is a string of the form tcp://<ip_addr>:port which specifies the IP address and port the as-router listens on for connections from other as-routers.

as-router Command Line Parameters

The command line parameters for the as-router executable can be seen by running: 
as-router –help
The output of the help command includes the default values used if no parameter is provided. Except for the two cross-site replication related parameters, the rest of the parameters are also used by the as-agent executable. So, to see specific information about any of the non-router specific parameters, see the as-agent Command Parameters section in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration guide. The following is the output of running as-router –help:
