ibmint start node command

Use the ibmint start node command to start an integration node.

Usage notes

  • Use the ibmint start node command to start an integration node in IBM® App Connect Enterprise.
  • Before you start an integration node, you can configure the node-managed integration server to access databases from deployed message flows by customizing the command environment. This process is relevant only when you are starting an integration node. For more information, see Running database setup scripts before starting an integration node.

Supported platforms

  • Windows
  • Linux®
  • Linux on POWER®
  • Linux on Z
  • AIX®
  • IBM z/OS® Container Extensions (zCX)

Parameters

nodeName
The name of a locally defined integration node.
seconds
(Optional) The maximum number of seconds to wait for the integration node to be started (default is 60).

If you want to use an App Connect Enterprise vault where the credentials are stored, you must specify the details of the vault key by using one of the following forms: (a) --vault-key or (b) --vaultrc-location. If either the --vault-key or the --vaultrc-location parameter is specified on the command, an App Connect Enterprise vault is used by the integration node when it accesses secured resources. You cannot use --vault-key and --vaultrc-location in the same command.

(a)
--vault-key key
(Optional) This parameter specifies the vault key to be used for creating the vault.
(b)
--vaultrc-location directory
(Optional) This parameter specifies the location of the .mqsivaultrc file that is used to locate the vault key.

--trace filePath
(Optional) Use this parameter to send verbose internal trace to the specified file.
--help
(Optional) Use this parameter to display help information about the command.

Examples

Start the integration node INODE:
ibmint start node INODE
Start the integration node INODE. Specify the .mqsivaultrc file C:\files\INODE.mqsivaultrc:
ibmint start node INODE --vaultrc-location C:\files\INODE.mqsivaultrc
Start the integration node INODE. Specify a timeout value of 120 seconds, and send verbose trace to the specified file:
ibmint start node INODE --timeout-seconds 120 --trace C:\files\mytracefile.txt
