# tibrvcfg

Command

## Syntax

    tibrvcfg [-http-only]
             [-login name:password ]
             [-url base_url ]
             command arg1 arg2 ...

## Purpose

Connect to a daemon component and run one configuration command.

## Remarks

This tool lets you send one configuration command to a component. The set of configuration commands parallels the methods of the configuration API. For details about any command, see page in this book that documents the corresponding method. For XML commands, see XML Commands.

The script `tibrvcfg` resides in the `bin` directory under `TIBRV_HOME`.

Parameter | Description
`-http-only` | When present, the configuration tool uses non-secure HTTP protocols to connect to the component, instead of secure HTTPS protocols. You must specify `-http-only` to `tibrvcfg` if and only if the component command line specified `-http-only`.
`-login` `name``:``password` | When present, the configuration tool supplies this administrator name and password when the component requests them. For more information, see SecurityProxy.useCredentials().
`-url` `base_url` | When present, the configuration tool connects to the browser administration interface of the component at this URL. When loading an XML file, this parameter (if present) overrides the URL in the XML file. When absent, the configuration tool seeks the component at the default URL, `http://localhost:7580`, which is appropriate for `rvd`, `rvrd`, `rvsd` or `rvsrd`, running on the same computer as the configuration tool. Construct the URL from the IP address of the daemon’s host computer, and its HTTP port.
`command arg1 arg2 ...` | The remaining parameters specify the command to the component, and its arguments. If you omit the command, or supply an invalid command, the configuration tool outputs a lengthy help message that lists all valid commands.

## Execution as a Java Object

The `tibrvcfg` script is the most convenient way to use this tool, because it automatically arranges the environment properly. However, you can bypass the script, executing the tool as a Java object; for example:

      java com.tibco.tibrv.config.tools.TibrvConfigurationTool ...

## XML Commands

Command | Description
`dumpXML [` `output_filename``]` | `dumpXML` gets current configuration data from a component, and builds an XML document incorporating that data. When `output_filename` is present, `dumpXML` directs the XML document to the specified file. The file is suitable as input for the `mergeXML` or `matchXML` command. When `output_filename` absent, the default is `stdio`.
`mergeXML` `xml_file` | `mergeXML` reads an XML document, and builds a set of commands to update the component with configuration in the XML document—overlaying the existing configuration with changes specified in the XML file. Where the two configurations conflict, the XML document overrides the existing configuration. Elements of the existing configuration that do not conflict with the XML specification remain in force. The parameter `xml_file` must contain an XML document appropriate for configuring the component (its syntax must conform to the DTD specification).
`matchXML` `xml_file` | `matchXML` reads an XML document, and builds a set of commands that force the component to conform to the XML document—removing elements of the existing configuration that are absent from the XML specification. The parameter `xml_file` must contain an XML document appropriate for configuring the component (its syntax must conform to the DTD specification).

Merge vs. Match

To illustrate the difference between `mergeXML` and `matchXML`, consider an example in which the existing configuration of `rvrd` has two routers, R1 and R2; the XML document specifies a change to R2 and a new router R3:

| • | With `mergeXML`, R1 remains unchanged, R2 is modified, and R3 is added.

| • | With `matchXML`, R1 is removed, R2 is modified, and R3 is added.

Creating XML Input

You may edit the XML output of `dumpXML`, and supply the edited file as input to `mergeXML` or `matchXML`. The edited file must conform to the DTD.
