PARAMETERS


-name DataServer–name

This parameter is required. It specifies the name of a broker.

-kill

Stops and removes the DataServer from memory, no matter what it is doing.

-start

Starts the DataServer.

-stop

Tells the DataServer to stop itself.

-query

-host host–name

Specifies the name of the machine where the AdminServer is running. If a host name is not specified, it defaults to the local host name.

-user user–name

Specifies a user name and prompts for a password. A user name and password are required only when you use the -host parameter and specify a remote host name. If you specify a remote host name with the -host parameter, but do not specify a user name with the -user parameter, you receive a prompt for a username and password.

-port port–number
