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 is more that one domain, the domain_name operand must be identified.

This command is supported in local mode only.

OPTIONS

--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.

-w --password

The --password option is deprecated. Use --passwordfile instead.

--passwordfile

This option replaces the -- password option. Using the --password option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The --passwordfile option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include MAPPEDPASSWORD, USERPASSWORD, SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, MQPASSWORD, ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

-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 UNIX, press CTRL-C to kill the server. On Windows, press Ctrl-Break to kill the server. 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.

EXAMPLES
