Displays usage text for the sbadmin command, then exits. If given a subcommand name as an argument, displays help for the specified subcommand, then exits. The subcommand argument can also precede the -h or --help:

sbadmin -h dequeue
sbadmin deq --help

Redirects all non-error output to the specified file.

Specifies the port number on localhost for the StreamBase Server to communicate with. This is a shortcut alternative to specifying the full URI with -u in cases where the server is running on localhost but on a port other than the default 10000. Thus, the following lines are equivalent:

sbadmin -u sb://localhost:9900 listConnections
sbadmin -p 9900 listConnections

Specifies the URI of the StreamBase Server to communicate with. See the sburi page of the Reference Guide (or see sburi(5) at the UNIX shell prompt) for a discussion of the URI format and its shortcuts. The URI can also be set using the STREAMBASE_SERVER environment variable.

Specifies a wait time waitMS in milliseconds for the command to continually attempt to connect to StreamBase Server, with an optional retry period retryMS, also in milliseconds. The default retryMS is 250 milliseconds. Use this command to start sbc enqueue and dequeue commands before starting StreamBase Server. The sbc command waits and connects when the is server is ready.

Prints version information and exits.

Adds a container to the running server process, assigns the new container a name, and specifies an application file to run in the context of the new container. The EventFlow application file format accepted has the .sbapp extension.

When adding containers, you can optionally specify a connection between a stream in the container you are adding to a stream in an existing container, as described in Container Connections. For each connection-expression, use the syntax destination=source, and include the container name, stream name, and any intervening module names in the container. For example: containerA.instream1=containerB.module1.outstream1

You can optionally enable or disable enqueuing to or dequeuing from the container on startup. This changes the enqueue or dequeue status for embedded adapters and for enqueue and dequeue clients. The valid STREAMSTATUS values are:

When you interrupt queuing for an application running in a container, you also interrupt queuing for any external clients, input adapters, and output adapters that were communicating with that application. See Enabling and Disabling Enqueue or Dequeue for details.

Use --suspend to specify that the application in this container should start up suspended. You can start a suspended container with the sbadmin resume command.

Use --moduleSearch to specify an absolute or relative path to a directory containing StreamBase application files that are called by this container's application as modules.

Similarly, use --resourceSearch to designate a comma-separated list of directories in which the module in the added container can search for file resources.

Use --datadir to specify an absolute or relative path to a directory to be used by this container to hold the files that implement disk query tables for the application in this container.

Relative paths for --datadir and --moduleSearch are relative to the runtime location of the server, which is likely to be different between development and deployment environments. For maximum clarity, specify full absolute paths.

Use the --trace* options to manage runtime tracing, as described in Runtime Tracing.

Use --parameter to specify module parameters for the container you are adding. See Using Module Parameters for details.

With the --verbose flag, the addContainer command reports success instead of silently returning.

Displays a property or all properties for the named Java operator or embedded adapter. Optionally you can request information about a specific property; otherwise, StreamBase displays all properties for the Java operator or embedded adapter.

If the server is running multiple containers and you need to prevent a naming conflict, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with the appropriate container name. For example:

sbadmin getOperatorProperty containerB.MyJavaOperator

Disconnects all connections from the server.

Disconnects the specified connection. Obtain the connectionID string from the first field returned by an sbadmin listConnections command.

Lists all active client connections to the running StreamBase Server.

The listConnections command supports the following options:

For each connection, the display shows:

Lists the number of currently active JDBC connections and allows you to close a JDBC connection without having to shut down the enclosing server or container. With either subcommand, close or count, this command returns the current number of JDBC connections. Specify the case-sensitive exact name of a data source as defined in a <data-source> element of the current server's configuration file. If you do not specify a datasource-name argument, the close subcommand closes the active JDBC connection.

Adds or removes a container connection to a running container and/or changes the enqueue or dequeue status of a container. The container connection syntax for the addConnection subcommand and each connection-expression is the same as for the addContainer command described above. The valid values for STREAMSTATUS are the same as for the addContainer command.

Use the --where option to specify a quoted predicate expression that limits the tuples sent over that connection. The predicate expression must resolve to true or false, and should match against one or more fields in the schema of the connection's stream. Since you can make more than one container connection to the same stream, you can connect to one stream multiple times, with a different filter predicate for each.

Use the trace subcommand to enable or disable runtime tracing, as described in Runtime Tracing; the trace subcommand requires an argument of either true or false. Use the --trace* options to modify the collection of trace information as described on the same page. The --trace* options have no effect unless trace is enabled. Example:

sbadmin modifyContainer default trace true --traceFileBase="tr_" \ --traceStreamPattern="Bids" --traceOverwrite --traceCompress

Removes the specified container from the running server process, and unloads the container's module from memory. This command is equivalent to shutdown containername, described below. With the --verbose flag, the removeContainer command reports success instead of silently returning.

Restarts one or more Java operators or embedded adapters in a server process that were previously stopped with the shutdown command. You can separate multiple entities with a space.

If the server is running multiple containers and you need to prevent a naming conflict, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with its container name. For example:

sbadmin restart containerB.MyJavaOperator

The container-name argument is not optional. Shuts down the specified container and restarts a new instance of the same module without reloading the container into memory, re-establishing container connections. Network connected clients are disconnected.

Resumes a suspended StreamBase application, container, Java operator, or embedded adapter. You can separate multiple entities with a space.

If the server is running multiple containers and you need to prevent a naming conflict, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with its container name. For example:

sbadmin resume containerB.MyJavaOperator

Sets a property value for the specified Java operator or embedded adapter. Use sbadmin getOperatorProperty to see the list of properties for a Java operator or an embedded adapter. If the server is running multiple containers and you need to prevent a naming conflict, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with its container name.

Shuts down one or more StreamBase applications, containers, Java operators, or embedded adapters. You can separate multiple entities with a space.

If you are shutting down a container with a container connection (for example, if the output stream of one container is the input stream of another container), remove or shut down the containers using the reverse order in which they were added to the server.

The commands shutdown containername and removeContainer containername are equivalent. Both leave the server with no container by the specified name, and the container's module unloaded from memory. Instead of removing and then re-adding a container, you can use the restartContainer command to restart it without recompiling or reloading the code, eliminating any in-memory state and re-initializing connections.

If the server is running multiple containers with the same module, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with its container name. For example:

sbadmin shutdown containerB.MyJavaOperator

Displays the server ID, process ID, version, and client ID.

Suspends a running StreamBase application, container, Java operator, or embedded adapter. You can separate multiple entities with a space. If the server is running multiple containers and you need to prevent a naming conflict, qualify the Java operator or embedded adapter with its container name. For example:

sbadmin suspend containerB.MyJavaOperator

The specified target silently accepts the suspend command, but not all StreamBase objects can be suspended, as described above in Suspending and Resuming.

For convenience, the sbadmin command also accepts all the sbc commands, as listed in the sbc(1) reference page, including status, list, enqueue, dequeue, describe, and typecheck. In a deployment that uses the StreamBase user administration system to restrict access to the sbadmin command, this feature allows authorized administrators to run the sbc commands with administrative rights.

Optional. Contains the URI for a StreamBase Server instance. Use this variable to set a default StreamBase URI for certain StreamBase commands that take the -u option. For example, sbc status honors the variable, but sbc list does not. If set, commands use the URI in this variable. If this variable is set, you must use the -u option to communicate with any server other than the one specified in this variable. You can set a comma-separated list of URIs in the variable, and commands such as sbc status returns status for all listed servers. However, sbc list returns information only for the first listed server. See the sburi(5) page in the Reference Guide for more on StreamBase URIs.
