ctgd command reference
You can use the ctgd command on on UNIX and Linux® to start CICS® Transaction Gateway as a background task.
The command ctgd start creates log file /var/cicscli/ctgd.log.
The syntax is:
ctgd {start|stop}The ctgd command uses a configuration file to
define environment variables that are used when starting the Gateway
daemon and Client daemon processes. The default location and name
for the ctgd configuration file is /var/cicscli/ctgd.conf.
Use the environment variable
CTGDCONF to specify
an alternative configuration file for ctgd. If
the ctgd.conf configuration file does not exist,
the ctgd command will use default values.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| CTGD_USER | Run the CICS TG as
user $CTGD_USER. If you do not define this variable, CICS TG runs
under the user who started ctgd. At system startup
this is root. An error will be generated if the ctgd command
cannot change to this user. |
| CTGD_GROUP | Run the CICS TG as
group $CTGD_GROUP. If you do not define this variable, CICS TG runs
under the primary group of the user who started ctgd.
An error will be generated if the ctgd command
cannot change this group. |
| CTGD_ADMINPORT | TCP port which listens for local administration requests from ctgadmin. If not specified, the adminport parameter specified in the configuration file ctg.ini is used. If the adminport parameter is not defined in the configuration file, the default value is 2810. |
| CTGD_PARAMS | Specify Gateway daemon startup override options.
For more information about the ctgstart options,
see ctgstart command reference.
Any ctgstart option can be specified, except the -adminport override.
To specify a custom administration port, use the CTGD_ADMINPORT variable.
When specifying multiple options, separate them with a space and enclose
the entire CTGD_PARAMS value in quotation marks. A sample ctgd configuration
file is installed as <install_path>/samples/configuration/ctgdsamp.conf. |
You can also set any environment variables in the ctgd.conf file. For more information, see Environment variables reference.
