`amsessiondb` Script

The amsessiondb script is called by the amsfo script to start the Berkeley DB client (amsessiondb), create the database, and set specific database values.

Note –

The recommended method to start and stop the Access Manager session failover components is to run the amsfo script and let it call the amsessiondb script. The following information is included only in case you might need to run the amsessiondb script independently.

Before you run the amsessiondb script, make sure you have the paths set correctly, as described under 4–Editing the amsessiondb Script (if Needed).

When you run the amsessiondb script, you can enter the Message Queue broker password on the command line as clear text (-w or --password option). However, if you prefer to use an encrypted password in a file (-f or --passwordfile option), first run the amsfopassword script to encrypt the Message Queue broker clear text password to a file. Then run the amsessiondb script, using this file for the -f or --passwordfile option.

Use the following syntax to run the amsessiondb script.

amsessiondb [ -u username | --username username ]
[ -w password | --password password | 
-f filename | --passwordfile filename ]
[ -c cachesize | --cachesize cachesize ]
[ -b dbdirectory | --dbdirectory dbdirectory ]
-a MQServerAddressList | --clusteraddress MQServerAddressList
[ -s numcleanexpiredsessions | --numcleansessions numcleanexpiredsessions ]
[ -v | --verbose ]
[ -i statsinterval | --statsInterval statsinterval ]
amsessiondb -h | --help
amsessiondb -n | --version

The following table describes the amsessiondb script arguments.

Table 6–6 amsessiondb Script Arguments


Argument	Description
-u `username` \| --username `username`	User name to connect to the Message Queue broker. Specify the user you specified under 3–Add a New User in the Message Queue Server. Default is “guest”.
-w `password` \| --password `password`	Clear text password for the user name used to connect to the Message Queue broker. Specify the password you specified under 3–Add a New User in the Message Queue Server. Default is “guest”.
-f `filename` \| --passwordfile `filename`	File that contains the encrypted password for accessing the Message Queue broker. Note If you specify this option, do not specify the -w or --password option.
-c `cachesize` \| --cachesize `cachesize`	Cache size in MB. Default is 8 MB.
-b `dbdirectory` \| --dbdirectory `dbdirectory`	Base directory where the Berkeley DB database (`amsessions.db`) is created. Default is “sessiondb”, created in the directory where you are running the `amsessiondb` script. Note To ensure that you have sufficient disk space where you are creating the database, allow 1 GB for each 100,000 sessions.
-a `MQServerAddressList` \| --clusteraddress `MQServerAddressList`	Message Queue broker address list, in the format: `host1:port[,host2:port,host3:port,...]` For example: `mqsvr1:7777,mqsvr2:7777`
-s numcleanexpiredsessions \| --numcleansessions numcleanexpiredsessions	Number of expired sessions to be deleted for each cleanup interval. Default is 1000.
`-v \| --verbose`	Run in verbose mode. Results are sent to the standard output. Default is non-verbose mode.
-i statsinterval \| --statsInterval statsinterval	Interval in seconds to print the statistics for total requests, reads, writes, and deletes to the standard output. Default is 60 seconds.
`-h \| --help`	Display `amsessiondb` command usage and then exit.
`-n \| --version`	Return the version of Access Manager currently installed and then exit.

The following example shows the amsessiondb script.

amsessiondb -u amsvrusr -f pwfile -c 128 -b sessiondb 
-a host1:7777,host2:7777
