syncNode command

The syncNode command forces a configuration synchronization to occur between the node and the deployment manager for the cell in which the node is configured.

The node agent server runs a configuration synchronization service that keeps the node configuration synchronized with the master cell configuration. If the node agent is unable to run because of a problem in the node configuration, you can use the syncNode command to perform a synchronization when the deployment manager is not running in order to force the node configuration back in sync with the cell configuration.

For more information about where to run this command, see the Using command tools article.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:
syncNode <deploymgr host> <deploymgr port> [options]
where the <deploymgr host> argument is required.

Parameters

The following options are available for the syncNode command:

-stopservers
Tells the syncNode command to stop all servers on the node, including the node agent, before performing configuration synchronization with the cell.
-restart
Tells the syncNode command to launch the node agent process after configuration synchronization completes.
-nowait
Tells the syncNode command not to wait for successful initialization of the launched node agent process.
-quiet
Suppresses the progress information that the syncNode command prints in normal mode.
-logfile <fileName>
Specifies the location of the log file to which information gets written.
-profileName
Defines the profile of the Application Server process in a multi-profile installation. The -profileName option is not required for running in a single profile environment. The default for this option is the default profile.
-replacelog
Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.
-trace
Generates trace information into a file for debugging purposes.
-timeout <seconds>
Specifies the waiting time before node agent initialization times out and returns an error.
-statusport <portnumber>
Specifies that an administrator can set the port number for node agent status callback.
-username <name>
Specifies the user name for authentication if security is enabled. Acts the same as the -user option.
-user <name>
Specifies the user name for authentication if security is enabled. Acts the same as the -username option.
-password <password>
Specifies the password for authentication if security is enabled.
-conntype <type>
Specifies the Java Management Extensions (JMX) connector type to use for connecting to the deployment manager. Valid types are Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) or Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
-help
Prints a usage statement.
-?
Prints a usage statement.

Usage scenario

The following examples demonstrate correct syntax:

syncNode testhost 8879

syncNode deploymgr 8879 -trace (produces the syncNode.log file)

syncNode host25 4444 -stopservers -restart (assumes that the deployment manager JMX port is 4444)
