fteStartDatabaseLogger (start the stand-alone database logger)

The fteStartDatabaseLogger command starts the stand-alone database logger.

Purpose

The fteStartDatabaseLogger command is supported on WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.1 and later.

Use the fteStartDatabaseLogger command to start the stand-alone database logger. The stand-alone database logger is a Java™ application that runs on the same system as the coordination queue manager. For more information, see the topic Configuring a WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition logger.

If you have configured the stand-alone database logger to run as a Windows service by using the fteModifyDatabaseLogger command, running the fteStartDatabaseLogger command starts the Windows service.

Parameters

-p configuration options
Optional. Determines the set of configuration options that is used to start the stand-alone database logger. Use the name of a set of configuration options as the value for the -p parameter. By convention this value is the name of a coordination queue manager. If you do not specify this parameter, the default set of configuration options is used.

-F
Optional. Runs the stand-alone database logger as a foreground process (rather than as the default background process). If you have configured the stand-alone database logger to run as a Windows service by using the fteModifyDatabaseLogger command, the -F parameter overrides this configuration.

-b bits
Optional. Equivalent to -bitMode. Selects whether the stand-alone database logger runs as a 32-bit or 64-bit process. Valid values are:
  • 32 - run the stand-alone database logger as a 32-bit process
  • 64 - run the stand-alone database logger as a 64-bit process
If this parameter is not specified, then the value of the FTE_BITMODE environment variable is used to determine whether the stand-alone database logger runs as a 32-bit or a 64-bit process. If the FTE_BITMODE environment variable is not set and this parameter is not specified, then the default is to run the stand-alone database logger as a 32-bit process.

properties file
Optional. By default, the stand-alone database logger properties file is assumed to be located in the directory config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name. You can optionally supply your own fully qualified path to a properties file containing the required properties for the stand-alone database logger to run. The log output is located under the default coordination queue manager directory in a folder called logs irrespective of where the properties file is located. You can alter the default configuration set by specifying the -p parameter on the command line.

-? or -h
Optional. Displays command syntax.

Example

In this example, the stand-alone database logger is started as a foreground process with the property set defined in the file /wmqfte/config/COORDQM/logger1.properties.
fteStartDatabaseLogger -F /wmqfte/config/COORDQM/logger1.properties
