Command line interface

This section describes the command-line interface (CLI) used to manage nodes. This CLI is invoked using the epadmin command.

The epadmin command line interface uses a combination of a command and a target, possibly including parameters, to specify an action. A command is generally a verb, and the target is generally a noun.

There are two types of parameters - global and command specific. Global parameters are valid for all commands, with a few exceptions. Different mandatory and optional command specific parameters are implied by the action. Global parameters are always specified to the left of the command. Command specific parameters are always specified to the right of the target.

This is the general epadmin syntax:

epadmin global-parameters command target action-specific-parameters

Global and command specific parameters use this syntax:

For example, for the display partition command, --z could be used for the zone name parameter and --n could be used for the partition name parameter.

 display partition
    [ --name=<String> ]
        Partition name.

    [ --zone=<String> ]
        Zone name

The epadmin CLI uses the return code to indicate success or failure. The return code values have these meanings:

The epadmin executable is located in the TIBCO StreamBase® Runtime installation at:

<product-installation-location>/distrib/tibco/bin/epadmin

It is convenient to include this path in the PATH variable to save typing it every time.

Getting product version

The product version is displayed using epadmin --version. --version is an alias for the display version command which would display the same value.

epadmin --version
TIBCO StreamBase Runtime 10.3.0-SNAPSHOT (build 1804101348)

epadmin display version
TIBCO StreamBase Runtime 10.3.0-SNAPSHOT (build 1804101348)

Getting help

epadmin has extensive built-in help. Help is accessed using epadmin help, or its alias epadmin --help.

[Warning]

Help information on application specific administration targets is only available when help commands are executed against a running node. It is not available when running help commands without a node.

 epadmin --help

  epadmin [<--global-parameter>=<value>,...]
          <command> <target> [<--parameter>=<value>,...]
          Execute a command.

  epadmin [global-parameters...] help targets
          Display all available administration targets.
          If no --servicename or --adminport global parameter is
          provided show the targets known to the offline help.

  epadmin [global-parameters...] help <target>
          Help for a specific administration target.
          If no --servicename or --adminport global parameter is
          provided show the target from the offline help.

  epadmin --help [global-parameters...] <command> <target>
          Help for a specific administration target command.
          If no --servicename or --adminport global parameter is
          provided show the target command from the offline help.

  epadmin help globals
          Help for the global parameters.

  When specifying global or command parameters the '=' is optional.
  --parameter=value is equivalent to --parameter value

                          to use for sending the discovery request
                          (default is the system's host name).
      --discoverytimeout: Seconds to wait for a service discovery
                          request to complete. Sub-second precision is
                          is supported, for example 1.25
                          (default is 1).
      --help:             Display help for the current command.
                          Valid values are true or false (default is false).
      --hostname:         DNS host name or IP address (default localhost).
      --password:         User password (no default).

      --servicename:      Service name.  Partially qualified service names
                          may resolve to multiple nodes (no default).
      --serviceprefix:    Enable or disable service name prefix of
                          command output. Valid values are true or false
                          (default is true).
      --username:         User name (default login name).

The target list, target specific, and command specific help options can be run with and without a node. For built-in administrative targets, these two options are equivalent. Application specific administrative targets are only available when the help command is targeted at a node.

Accessing a node

Accessing a node to perform an administrative action requires:

  • Valid credentials, i.e. a user name and password

  • Network addressing information

Credentials and network address information are specified using global parameters. See the section called “Global parameters” for details.

If a username is specified but a password is not, then epadmin prompts for a password. If username is not specified, the user name in the shell environment in which epadmin is executed is used as the user name. See Chapter 5, Security to learn how to configure access control.

Node address information is required for most commands (those that apply to a node). You can specify an explicit hostname and port number, or alternatively you can use a service name to access a node. See the section called “Service discovery” for details on using a service name.

Administration actions can also be addressed to multiple nodes simultaneously. This is supported by specifying a partially-qualified service name when executing a command that should be targeted at all nodes in a cluster, a subset of the nodes, or a specific node.

Service discovery

You do not need to supply a specific host name or port to address a node; you can use the node's published service name. If you need to find the nodes running on the network, you can perform discovery manually using the display services command.

Here is example output from the display services command using the servicetype filter to only return node service records.

epadmin display services --servicetype=node
Service Name = B.X
Service Type = node
Network Address = dtm-adm://Kapoho.local:43011

Service Name = A.X
Service Type = node
Network Address = dtm-adm://Kapoho.local:43005

This output indicates that there are two nodes running and that administration commands could be targeted at the node named A.X using a service name of A.X instead of using a host name of Kapoho.local and a port number of 43005.

When a service name is used to execute an administrative command, the output from the command is prefixed by the service name returning the response. For example, executing display node on all nodes in cluster X returns:

epadmin --servicename=X display node
//
//    Node B.X output
//
[B.X] Node Name = B.X
[B.X] Node Description = No description
[B.X] Node State = Stopped
[B.X] Host Name = Kapoho.local

Path notation

Some administration commands use EventFlow path notation to filter which entity is displayed. The EventFlow path notation has the following syntax, with a period separator between each element:

[containerName.][moduleRefName[[.moduleRef2Name].[..]]entityName

where:

  • containerName - the name of the container hosting the top-level module. Container names are either system, default, or a name you assign when creating a container. If containerName is omitted, it defaults to the container name default.

  • moduleRefName - child (aka a module reference) module name. Child modules can be nested.

  • entityName - the name of an individual stream, operator, or adapter.

The container name is an alias for the top-level module name. Top-level module names are never included in a path.

Other than the top-level container name, all path elements must be specified from the most significant element to the least significant element. It is illegal to omit more significant elements. For example:

//
//  Fully scoped operator path
//
default.childModule.grandChildModule.myOperator

//
//  Illegal path specifier for myOperator
//
grandChildModule.myOperator

//
//  Legal path specifier for myOperator
//
childModule.grandChildModule.myOperator

Here are some additional examples of valid paths:

//
//   Fully scoped path to myOperator
//
default.childModule.grandChildModule.myOperator

//
//   Resolves to default.childModule.grandChildModule.myOperator
//
childModule.grandChildModule.myOperator

//
//   Resolves to all entities and modules contained in default.childModule
//
childModule

//
//   Resolves to all entities and modules contained in default.childModule.grandChildModule
//
childModule.grandChildModule

Global parameters

Table 8.2, “Global parameters” summarizes the supported global parameters.

Table 8.2. Global parameters

NameExampleDescription

debug--debug=true|falseEnable low level debug tracing for the command. Valid values are true or false. The default value is false.
delimiter--delimiter=|Format output as a table with the first row containing column names, and all other rows containing the columnar data. The delimiter character is used to separate all columns in all rows. Default is to output formatted plain text.
discoveryport--discoveryport=54321Port to use for service discovery. Default value is 54321.
discoveryhosts--discoveryhosts=myhostA comma separated list of simple host names, fully qualified DNS names, or IP addresses, which specify which network interfaces to use for sending the discovery request. Default is the system's host name.
discoverytimeout--discoverytimeout=1.25The number of seconds to wait for a service discovery request to complete. Sub-second precision is supported, for example 1.25. Default is 1 second.
help--help=true|falseDisplay help for the current command. Valid values are true or false. Default value is false.
hostname--hostname=venusTarget node's host name. This can be a simple host name, a fully qualified DNS name, or an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If a simple host name or fully qualified DNS name is specified, an IPv6 address is used if available. Default value is localhost.
password--password=guestUser password to access target node. Cannot be specified when using trusted host authentication mechanism. It is strongly recommended that passwords never be specified on the command line. See the section called “Accessing a node” for details on specifying a password. No default.
schema--schema=trueEnable the addition of a schema row after the header row to delimited tabular output. Valid values are true or false. A value of true can only be specified if the delimiter global parameter is also set. The default value is false.
servicename--servicename=A.XThe service name of the target node. See the section called “Service discovery” for details on using service discovery. If servicename is specified, hostname and adminport are not required. No default.
serviceprefix--serviceprefix=falseEnable or disable service name prefixing of command output. Valid values are true or false. Default value is true.
username--username=guestUser name to access target node. Required if not using the trusted host authentication mechanism. Default value is the login name of the user executing epadmin. The default value requires that the host on which the command is being executed is a trusted host to the target host on which the node is running.

kill command

Kill a running node.

Nodes are killed asynchronously. The kill command may return before the node has been killed.

When a node is killed it must be reinstalled after removing the node directory using remove node installpath=<node-directory>. The primary use of the kill command is testing.

kill node

remove command

Remove a stopped node.

A node must be stopped before it can be removed, unless the installpath parameter is specified. If installpath is specified, and a node is running, any running fragment engines are killed.

When a node is removed, the node coordinator is stopped if it is still running, and the node directory is deleted.

Use the hostname and adminport or servicename global parameters to identify the node to be removed.

If the remove command fails because it cannot connect to the node, then use the installpath parameter to identify the node directory. To remove a failed node on a remote machine use the hostname global parameter and the producthome parameter to specify the location of the product installation on the remote machine. SSH access is required to the machine specified in the hostname parameter. See the section called “Secure shell (SSH)” for details.

remove node
remove node --installpath=/opt/tibco/RUN/A
--hostname=acme.com remove node --installpath=/opt/tibco/RUN/A --producthome=/opt/tibco

Table 8.74. remove command parameters

restore command

Restore a node that was previously upgraded using the upgrade command.

The application being restored is specified in the application parameter.

The restore command performs the following steps if the node is running:

  1. Leave the cluster. All partitions with this node as the active node will migrate to a replica.

  2. Stop the node.

  3. Update the deployment directories for the node if deploydirectories is set on the command line.

  4. Remove all managed objects for classes being restored.

  5. Restart the node.

  6. Add this node as a replica to all partitions that were active on this node and join the cluster.

The restore command performs the following steps if the node is not running:

  1. Update the deployment directories for the node if deploydirectories is set on the command line.

  2. Remove all managed objects for classes being restored.

  3. Start the node.

Upon successful completion a restore report is generated containing information on what was restored.

Setting this value to true allows restores to continue, but all non-partitioned objects are deleted as part of the restore process.No. Default value is false.
applicationOptional application archive to restore on node.No. Default is to restore from JAR files in deployment directories.
executeA boolean value indicating whether the command should be executed. A value of false only generates the restore report. A value of true generates the report and also executes the command.No. Default value is false.
deploydirectoriesUpdated deployment directories for the node. See Table 8.73, “install command parameters” for more details on this parameter.No. Default is value set when node was installed.
nodedeployOptional node deploy configuration file. This parameter can only be specified if the application parameter is specified.No. Default values are built-in.
substitutionsComma separated list of <name>=<value> pairs used to replace substitution variables in application definition and node deploy configuration files. A value specified in substitutions takes precedence over a value specified in substitutionfile if they both specify a value for the same name.No. No default value.
substitutionfileA file containing new-line terminated <name>=<value> pairs used to replace substitution variables in application definition and node deploy configuration files. Blank lines, and lines beginning with a #, are ignored. A value specified in substitutions takes precedence over a value specified in substitutionfile if they both specify a value for the same name.No. No default value.

start command

Start a node or restart the node coordinator.

The start command can be used to start a node, or restart the node coordinator after a terminate command. The installpath parameter controls whether the start command is being used to start the node, or to restart the node coordinator. If the installpath parameter is specified, the node coordinator is restarted. If the installpath parameter is not specified, the node is restarted. It is an error to specify the installpath parameter if the node coordinator is already running. Executing start node on a node that is already started succeeds without performing any action.

The start command can restart a node coordinator on remote nodes using the hostname parameter. The producthome parameter can be used to specify the location of the product installation on the remote node.

start node
start node --autostart=false
start node --maxretries=50
start node --installpath=/opt/tibco/A
// restart node coordinator on remote host named remotehost
--hostname=remotehost start node --installpath=/opt/tibco/A --producthome=/opt/tibco

producthomeLocation of the product installation on the host specified by the hostname parameter. This parameter can only be specified when the installpath parameter is also specified.No. Default value is based on the location of the epadmin executable on the local host.

stop command

Stop a running node.

When a node is stopped, the node coordinator is left running, and will not be stopped unless the node is removed. Executing the start command will restart all application processes.

stop node

terminate command

Terminate the node coordinator.

The start command can be used to restart the node coordinator.

terminate node

upgrade command

Upgrade a node.

This command upgrades the classes specified in the upgradefile parameter. This command must be used to upgrade nodes in a cluster. It can be run against a newly installed node, or a running node.

The new JAR files for the upgrade must be copied into a deployment directory for the node before performing the upgrade command.

The upgrade command performs the following steps if the node is running:

  1. Validate that all classes being upgraded have a partition mapper installed, unless the allownonpartitioned parameter is set to true.

  2. Leave the cluster. All partitions with this node as the active node will migrate to a replica.

  3. Stop the node.

  4. Update the deployment directories for the node if deploydirectories is set on the command line.

  5. Remove all managed objects for classes being upgraded.

  6. Restart the node.

  7. Add this node as a replica to all partitions that were active on this node and join the cluster.

The upgrade command performs the following steps if the node is not running:

  1. Update the deployment directories for the node if deploydirectories is set on the command line.

  2. Remove all managed objects for classes being restored.

  3. Start the node.

Upon successful completion an upgrade report is generated containing information on what was upgrade.
