NAME

start-domain– starts a domain

SYNOPSIS

start-domain [––domaindir install_dir/domains] ––user admin_user ––passwordfile file_name [––terse=false] [––echo=false] [––interactive=true] [––verbose=false] [––debug=false] [domain_name]

DESCRIPTION

Use the start-domain command to start a domain. If the domain directory is not specified, the domain in the default install_dir/domains directory is started. If there are two or more domains, the domain_name operand must be specified.

On Mac OS X, processes can bind to the same port. To avoid this problem, do not start multiple domains with the same port number at the same time.

This command is supported in local mode only.

OPERANDS

––domaindir

The directory where the domain is to be started. If specified, the path must be accessible in the filesystem. If not specified, the domain in the default install_dir/domains directory is started.

–u ––user

The authorized domain application server administrative username. This option is optional in the Application Server Platform Edition, but is required in the Application Server Enterprise Edition.

––passwordfile

The file containing the domain application server password associated with the administrative instance. The password is defined in the following form: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password. Where password is the actual administrator password for the domain. This option is optional in the Application Server Platform Edition, but is required in the Application Server Enterprise Edition.

–t––terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

–e ––echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on to the standard output. Default is false.

–I ––interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

––verbose

By default this flag is set to false. If set to true, detailed server startup output is displayed. On Windows, press CTRL-Break in the domain's window to print a thread dump. On UNIX, press CTRL-C to kill the server and press CTRL-\\ to print a thread dump.

––debug

By default this flag is set to false. If set to true, the server is started in debug mode and prints the JPDA port on the console.

OPERANDS

domain_name

The unique name of the domain you wish to start.
