Starting the EMS Server Using JSON Configuration

This section and the next describe the steps to start the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server using the JSON configuration file when using file-based stores. For details on starting the server with FTL stores, see Configuring and Deploying FTL Stores.

    Procedure
  1. From the command line, navigate to EMS_HOME/bin.
  2. Enter the following command and option: 
    tibemsd -config json-file-path

    where json-file-path is the path to your JSON configuration file. For example: 

    tibemsd -config /tibemsconfig/tibemsd.json

    If the server is unable to find the JSON configuration file at json-file-path, it automatically creates a default JSON configuration file at that location.

    When started using the JSON configuration, the server silently ignores any unknown parameters. For example, no configuration errors are thrown if the tibemsd.json file contains an obsolete parameter.

    Note: For information on converting .conf configuration files to JSON configuration files, see Conversion of Server Configuration Files to JSON.
