The startManager command reads the configuration file
for the Network Deployment manager process and constructs a launch command.
Depending on the options you specify, the startManager command launches
a new Java virtual machine (JVM) API to run the manager process, or writes
the launch command data to a file. You must run this command from the install_root/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/standalone/bin directory of a Network Deployment installation.
If you are using the Windows platform and the you have the deployment manager
running as a Windows service, the startManager command will start the
associated Windows service and it will be responsible for starting the deployment
manager.
Syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
startManager [options]
Parameters
The following options are available for
the startManager command:
- -nowait
- Tells the startManager command not to wait for successful initialization
of the deployment manager process.
- -quiet
- Suppresses the progress information that the startManager 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 using the startManager command
for debugging purposes.
- -timeout <seconds>
- Specifies the waiting time before deployment manager initialization times
out and returns an error.
- -statusport <portNumber>
- Specifies that an administrator can set the port number for deployment
manager status callback.
- -script [<script fileName>] -background
- Generates a launch script with the startManager command instead
of launching the deployment manager process directly. The launch script name
is an optional argument. If you do not provide the launch script name, the
default script file name is <start_dmgr>. The -background parameter
is an optional parameter that specifies that the generated script will run
in the background when you execute it.
- -J-<java_option>
- Specifies options to pass through to the Java interpreter.
- -help

- -?
