tibemsd Options

The tibemsd options override any value specified in the parameters.

Option Description
-config config file name config file name is the name of the main configuration file for tibemsd server. Default is tibemsd.conf.

For example, to start an EMS server using the default JSON configuration file, use: 

tibemsd -config tibemsd.json

If using grid stores or FTL stores, this option has a different purpose. See Server Command-Line Options for Grid Stores and Server Command-Line Options for FTL Stores for more information.

-trace items Specifies the trace items. These items are not stored in the configuration file. The value has the same format as the value of log_trace parameter specified with set server command of the administration tool; see Trace Messages for the Server.
-secondary Specifies the secondary server in a fault tolerant pair. This option is only valid for EMS servers started using JSON config.
-ssl_password string Private key password.
-ssl_trace Print the certificates loaded by the server and do more detailed tracing of TLS-related situation.
-ssl_debug_trace Turns on tracing of TLS connections.
-ft_active active_url URL of the active server. If this server can connect to the active server, it will act as a standby server. If this server cannot connect to the active server, it will become the active server.
-ft_heartbeat seconds Heartbeat signal for the active server, in seconds. Default is 3.
-ft_activation seconds Activation interval (maximum length of time between heartbeat signals) which indicates that active server has failed. Set in seconds: default is 10. This interval should be set to at least twice the heartbeat interval.
-forceStart Causes the server to delete corrupted messages in the stores, allowing the server to start even if it encounters errors.

Note that using this option causes data loss, and it is important to backup store data before using -forceStart. See Error Recovery Policy for more information.
