Listen on the specified ports.

Port-spec is either plaintext-port:encrypted-port, or just a plaintext port number.

One of these can be disabled by specifying OFF instead of a port number. Disabling both is not allowed. The default plaintext port is 5051. The default encrypted port is 8051.

Note, this only specifies port numbers. Encrypted communications are disabled by default, they can be enabled by -k and -K options.

Run as a gateway server using the specified gateway configuration file. Gateway servers and gateway configuration files are explained in the section, Gateway Servers and Clustering.

Use persistent socket connections. socket-option is one of I = Incoming only, O = Outgoing only, B (default) = both, N = neither.

Set the incoming IP protocols the server accepts. ip-mode can contain one of the following protocols:

4 - IPv4 only

6 - IPv6 only

M - Use both protocols. The default value is M.

Set the outgoing IP protocols the server uses. This controls what protocol this server uses when creating connections to a remote server. ip-mode can contain one of the following protocols:

4 - IPv4 only. The default value is '4', use only the IPv4 protocol for outgoing connections.

6 - IPv6 only

M - Use both protocols.

Private key file-name.

If a single file contains both the private key and the public key, then either -k or -K can be omitted. If both are omitted, encrypted communications are disabled.

Certificate file-name.

Specify the default prefilter. If this argument is not given the default prefilter is GIP. The default prefilter can be overridden at the time the table is created with an explicit prefilter selection.

This specifies a limit on the number of different words or phrases in a query string to which thesaurus substitutions are applied. Substitutions beyond the limit are ignored. There can be a large performance penalty for very large numbers of substitutions, this limits that penalty. The default is 40, which is more than enough for most applications.

Sets limits for joined searches.

Preferred format for join-limits:

[single-parent-rec]:[all-parent-recs]:[max-querylets]

Alternative legacy format for join-limits:

- J single-parent-rec[:all-parent-recs]

Note: If only the single-parent-rec limit is specified, then all-parent-recs is set to be equal to single-parent-rec and max-querylets is left at the default. If only the single-parent-rec is used in this format, then the colon must be omitted.

The alternative legacy format provides backward compatibility for existing applications, but the preferred format is more flexible and allows setting the maximum number of querylets.

For more information, see the “Single Parent Search” and “Matching Compound Records” sections in TIBCO Patterns Concepts Guide.

Enables Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) harnessing for each table and query. For information about GIP-GPU, see the "Prefilters" section in TIBCO Patterns Concepts Guide.

Lists available GPU devices and exits without starting the server. It indicates whether it meets recommendations of TIBCO for each device.

Using non-recommended devices can degrade application performance.

Starts the server with recommended devices harnessed. Usable, but non-recommended devices are not harnessed and cannot be requested by applications.

Starts the server using GPU devices according to TIBCO recommendations. By default, recommended devices are harnessed. Usable, but non-recommended devices are harnessed only if requested by the application.

Starts the server with all usable GPU devices harnessed.

Enable checkpoint and restore using the indicated directory. The directory must already exist. If this argument is not given, the checkpoint feature is disabled.

Auto restore. Upon start up, restore all checkpointed tables in the restore directory. This is ignored if the -R option is not specified.

Restore from a common directory. Upon start-up all checkpointed tables in the indicated directory are restored. Checkpointing is not enabled by this option, although it may be used with the -R and -A options.

Write error messages to the specified file. By default, the server sends messages to the system log on UNIX and the application event log on Microsoft Windows.

Log incoming queries to the specified file.

Log additional data to the console log. Each connection attempt is logged. If a connection attempt is rejected, the reason is logged. Do not use this option in production as the console log grows rapidly, until the file system is full.

Display header data for the specified Learn Model file, and then exit.

This causes the TIBCO Patterns server to print out its version information and exit.

Start in debug mode. The server does not detach itself from the controlling terminal, nor does it put itself into the background.

This directory is used by TIBCO Patterns for temporary files. The file system containing this directory must have sufficient free space to store any model files transmitted through the gateway.

Spawn no more than the specified number of command processing threads. The default is 4.

Write the server's process ID to the specified file. The file is deleted when the server terminates.

Enable the Hawk interface. If this argument is given, the server registers with TIBCO Patterns Hawk as a micro-agent, enabling TIBCO Hawk to monitor the state of the server. service, network, and daemon are the transport parameters as defined for TIBCO Hawk. For more information, see TIBCO Hawk Interface.

Set a limit for the total amount of space used for all database tables in the server. The space is given in KB. The minimum allowed size is 1024. When the total memory used for all database tables in the process reaches the limit specified, any attempt to add additional records or tables is disallowed. If this argument is not given, no check is made. If enough memory cannot be allocated for an additional record or table, the process terminates. Thus this argument can be used to protect the server from aborting due to insufficient memory resources or to cap its memory use on shared systems.

Set the limit for the number of parallel loads in a multitable restore. By default, the Auto restore on start-up loads up to maxthreads and three tables in parallel to reduce load time where maxthreads is as defined in the -t option. During command processing, parallel loads in multi-table restores are turned off by default as they may interfere with other command processing. This can be controlled through this option. Setting max-loads to a positive value allows up to that number of tables to be loaded in parallel during command processing. Setting it to zero removes all restrictions and loads all tables in parallel. Setting it to a negative value disallows parallel loading in multitable restores during the command processing (same as the default behavior). For the initial auto-restore, the limit is always the maximum of maxthreads and three or max-loads.

Controls the auto-timeout of idle transactions. Idle-timeout has the following format: idle-time[:action] where idle-time specifies the time in seconds. A transaction must sit idle before the action is applied. An action can contain one of the following arguments:

A – Abort the transaction

E – Abort the transaction if it has any Errors, commit if it is otherwise

C – forcibly Commit the transaction

N – perform No action, this turns off idle transaction monitoring. If this argument is not specified, idle transaction monitoring is turned off. If an action is not specified, it defaults to A.
