Command Line Option

Description

 

 

-nons

For ease of use, Netcool/Precision TN by default brings up an

 

embedded nameserver. By doing this, the nameserver

 

(rmiregistry.exe) does not have to be started separately. If

 

you include -nonsat the command line, you set the

 

RemoteNameServer property to true for this session; the

 

nameserver is outside the Netcool/Precision TN server

 

process – it can be on the same box or a remote box. To use a

 

remote nameserver, start Netcool/Precision TN with the

 

following command:

 

precisiontn -nons -ORBInitialPort port_no

 

-ORBInitialHost hostname

 

 

-nosecure

By default, the server forces all remote users of the server to be

 

authenticated. By including this option in the command line,

 

you disable user authentication. The default is false.

 

 

-nsnameprecisiontn_name

The name to register with the nameserver. This parameter lets

 

you partition a network among multiple servers. Each

 

Netcool/Precision TN server needs to register with the

 

nameserver under its own unique name. The default is

 

DEFAULT.

 

 

-ORBInitialHost name

Connect to the nameserver running on the specified host. This

 

option automatically sets the RemoteNameServer option to

 

true if the host is not the localhost. The default is localhost

 

(implies -nonsif remote).

 

 

-ORBInitialPort integer

Start the nameserver on this port, or if RemoteNameServer is

 

true or ORBInitialHost is specified, connect to a remote

 

name server on this port. The default is 1099.

 

 

-rebindfreq seconds

Frequency, in seconds, with which to try and rebind to the

 

nameserver. You would set this so that if the nameserver

 

restarts, you can rebind. If you do not rebind, then clients that

 

start after the nameserver restarts are unable to connect to

 

Netcool/Precision TN. Once the nameserver is down, this tries

 

every second.

 

If this is set to a value less than or equal to zero, this logic is

 

disabled. The default is 0.

 

 

-trapPort integer

SNMP Only: Port that the server should listen on for incoming

 

SNMP trap messages. The majority of SNMP agents send traps

 

to port 162. The default is 162.

 

 

-resynchabsolute string

Do not restart the resynch interval on connection reconnect.

 

Determines whether Netcool/Precision TN adheres absolutely

 

to the resynchinterval, or restarts the resynch interval

 

after a connection goes down and comes back up. The default

 

is false.

 

 

-tomcatPort number

Specifies the port for accepting HTTP connections to the JSP

 

application.
