Component Command-Line Parameters

All three executable components -- state keeper, node, and proxy -- accept the same set of command-line parameters, as documented here.

Parameter Description
-n name

--name name

Required. Process name.

Supply one of the names you assigned in Defining a Data Grid.

-r realm_service_URL

-rs realm_service_URL

--realmserver realm_service_URL

Required. Realm service location.

Supply the realm service URL in the form http://host:port. Use the values of host and port that you supplied as the -ht (FTL 5.4) or -n (FTL 6) arguments in Starting a Realm Service. If running a secure realm service, use https instead of http.

Whether you are running primary and backup realm servers with TIBCO FTL 5.4.1 or you are running a cluster of FTL servers with TIBCO FTL 6.x, the realm_service_URL can be a list of URLs separated by a | (pipe) character. For example:

-r realm_service1_URL [ | realm_service2_URL [ | realm_service3_URL] ]
-s realm_service_URL

--secondary-realmserver realm_service_URL

Optional. Only for users of TIBCO FTL 5.4.1.

URL of the backup realm server. See alternate method of specifying the backup realm server's URL in the row above.

If the regular realm server is unavailable, the process contacts the backup realm server at this location.

-g name

--grid name

Optional.

Required when a data grid has been configured with a name. The name of the data grid as specified in Defining a Data Grid.
