Parameters

nodeName
The name of a locally defined integration node.
--node-conf-yaml filePath
The configuration file for the integration node.
--shared-work-path directory
The directory in which registry and configuration data is shared between multiple instances of this integration node.
--work-path directory
The directory in which internal data, such as installation logs, component details, and trace output are written.

If you want to create an App Connect Enterprise vault, 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 created to hold the credentials that are 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.
If the directory that is specified does not exist, you must create it before you run the ibmint create node command with the --vaultrc-location parameter. The directory must contain a .mqsivaultrc file, which you can create by running the following command:
mqsivault --vaultrc-store-default-key --vault-key 12345678 --vaultrc-location directory

For more information, see mqsivault command.


--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

Create an integration node:
ibmint create node INODE
Create an integration node and specify the configuration file, node.conf.yaml, to be used for the integration node:
ibmint create node INODE --node-conf-yaml C:\workpath\node.conf.yaml
Create an integration node and specify the working directory within which work files for this integration node are stored:
ibmint create node INODE --work-path C:\workpath
Create an integration node and specify the location of the .mqsivaultrc file that is used to locate the vault key:
ibmint create node INODE --vaultrc-location C:\vaultlocation
Create an integration node and specify a file to which verbose internal trace is sent:
ibmint create node INODE --trace C:\trace\myTraceFile
Display help information about the command:
ibmint create node--help
