archadmin

Edit online

Use this program to establish a connection to a Collector Server instance so that you can view the messages that were issued by Collector Server. You can open a connection across systems and across operating systems.

Notes:

¹ On Linux® and UNIX systems
² On Windows
³ If the server configuration profile is found, the value for the ARCHPRO_PORT keyword is used.

Parameters

-i profile: Specifies the fully qualified file name of the server configuration profile that you want to use. You can omit this parameter if the server configuration profile is in the directory that you issue the command from and if its name is archint.ini.
-m server_name: Specifies the host name or the IP address of the system where Collector Server runs.
-p port: Specifies the fixed port that is used by the Collector Server instance.
-check_alive: Checks whether the Collector Server instance is running. A return code of 0 indicates that it is running.
-trace_on: Starts tracing. The Collector Server trace file and the RFC trace file are written.
-trace_off: Tracing stops. No trace files are written.
-h: Displays help information about the archadmin command.

Comments

If you do not specify the -m parameter, Content Collector for SAP assumes that the archpro program is on the local system (localhost).
If you do not specify either -p or -i, the information in the default server configuration profile is used.
Only port numbers above 5000 are accepted.
Connections between different operating systems, such as Windows and AIX®, are supported.
