Override Bootstrapper Command Default Values

The following table shows arguments you can specify in the Command Central bootstrapper command to override the default values.

Note: Make sure to run the bootstrapper .bat or .sh script using the privileges or permissions stated earlier. On Windows, if you do not run the .bat under a user account with system administrator privileges, the console window will close automatically and you will not be able to see output describing success or errors, nor will you be able to see -help output.
Argument Value Default
-H host_name DNS name or IP address for the machine on which to install Command Central. Machine on which you are running the bootstrapper.
-d path Full path to the installation directory in which to install Command Central. Directory from which you are running the bootstrapper.
-c port_number HTTP port to use for Command Central. 8090
-C port_number HTTPS port to use for Command Central. 8091
-s port_number HTTP port for Command Central to use to communicate with the local Platform Manager. 8092
-S port_number HTTPS port for Command Central to use to communicate with the local Platform Manager. 8093
-p password Password to use for the Command Central Administrator user account. In a production environment, IBM strongly recommends replacing the default with a strong, custom password.
Note: If you are installing on Windows, and want to use special characters like ampersands (&), specify --base64-pass instead of -p. This argument allows you to pass a base64-encoded password.
manage
--accept-license Indicates that you accept the IBM webMethods product license agreement. Required.
-P sudo_password

On UNIX, sudo password to use to register daemons for Command Central and Platform Manager.

Note: You can register daemons at a later time by re-running the bootstrapper with this argument.
