imqbrokerd(1M)
NAME
imqbrokerd - start a Message Queue broker instance
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/imqbrokerd [option...]
/usr/bin/imqbrokerd -h
DESCRIPTION
imqbrokerd starts an instance of the Message Queue broker.
The Message Queue broker is the main component of a Message
Queue message server. The broker performs reliable delivery
of messages to and from Java Message Service (JMS) clients.
imqbrokerd uses command line options to specify broker con-
figuration properties.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-backup fileName
Back up a Master Broker's configuration change record
to fileName. This option only applies to broker clus-
ters.
-cluster brokerList
Specify the list of broker instances which are con-
nected in a cluster. This list is merged with the list
in the imq.cluster.brokerlist property. This option
only applies to broker clusters.
brokerList is a comma-separated list of broker
instances, each specified by hostName:port (the host
on which the broker instance is running and the port
number it is using) If you don't specify a value for
hostName, localhost is used. If you don't specify a
value for port, the value of 7676 is used. For exam-
ple: host1:8899,host2,:7878.
-dbpassword password
Specify the password for a plugged-in JDBC-compliant
database used as an MQ data store.
-dbuser userName
Specify the user name for a plugged-in JDBC-compliant
data store.
-Dproperty=value
Set the specified broker configuration property to the
value. The system does not validate either the confi-
guration property or value. Therefore, spelling, for-
matting, and case is important. MQ can not set
incorrect values passed using the -D option.
-force
Perform action without user confirmation. This option
only applies when you use the -remove instance option,
which normally requires confirmation.
-h Display usage help. Execute nothing else on the com-
mand line.
-javahome path
Specify the path to an alternate Java 2-compatible
Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) The default is to use the runtime bundled with
the operating system.
-ldappassword password
Specify the password for accessing a LDAP user reposi-
tory when using an LDAP server (as opposed to a
built-in flat-file repository) to authenticate users
of an MQ message server.
-license [name]
Specify the license to load, if different from the
default for your MQ product edition. If you don't
specify a license name, this lists all licenses
installed on the system. Depending on the installed MQ
edition, the values for name are pe (Platform
Edition-basic features), try (Platform Edition-90-day
trial enterprise features), and unl (Enterprise Edi-
tion).
-loglevel level
Specify the logging level. Valid values for level are
NONE, ERROR, WARNING, or INFO. The default value is
INFO.
-metrics int
Report metrics at a specific interval. Specify int as
the number of seconds.
-name brokerName
Specify the instance name of this broker and use the
corresponding instance configuration file. If you do
not specify a broker name, the name of the file is set
to imqbroker. If you run more than one instance of a
broker on the same host, each must have a unique name.
-passfile filename
Specify the name of the file from which to read the
passwords for the SSL keystore, LDAP user repository,
or JDBC-compliant database.
-password keypassword
Specify the password for the SSL certificate keystore.
-port number
Specify the broker's Port Mapper port number. By
default, this is set to 7676. To run two instances of
a broker on the same server, each broker's Port Mapper
must have a different port number. JMS clients connect
to the broker instance using this port number.
-remove instance
Remove the broker instance. Delete the instance confi-
guration file, log files, data store, and other files
and directories associated with the broker instance.
This option requires user confirmation unless you also
specify the -force option.
-reset store|messages|durables|props
Reset the data store (or a subset of the store) or
resets the configuration properties of the broker
instance when the broker instance is started. The
action depends on the argument provided.
store Clear all persistent data in the data store,
including messages, durable subscriptions, and
transaction information store.
messages
Clear all persistent messages durable.
durables
Clear all durable subscriptions.
props Clear all configuration information in the
config.props instance configuration file. All
properties assume default values.
-restore filename
Replace the Master Broker's configuration change
record with the specified backup file. This file must
have been previously created using the -backup option.
This option only applies to broker clusters.
-shared
Specify that the jms connection service be implemented
using the shared threadpool model, in which threads
are shared among connections to increase the number of
connections supported by a broker instance.
-silent
Turn off logging to the console.
-tty Display all messages be to the console. WARNING and
ERROR level messages are displayed on the console by
default.
-version
Display the version number of the installed product.
-vmargs are [[arg]...]
Specify arguments to pass to the Java VM. Separate
arguments with spaces. If you want to pass more than
one argument or if an argument contains a space, use
enclosing quotation marks. For example:
imqbrokerd -tty -vmargs " -Xmx128m -Xincgc"
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of
this command:
IMQ_JAVAHOME
Specify the Java 2 compatible runtime. When this
environment variable is not set it defaults to
/usr/j2se.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
