Command lines overview

When you start or configure a server through the Crystal Management Console (CMC) or the Crystal Configuration Manager (CCM), the server is started (or restarted) with a default command line that includes a typical set of options and values. In the majority of cases, you need not modify the default command lines directly. Moreover, you can manipulate the most common settings through the various server configuration screens in the CMC and the CCM. For reference, this section provides a full listing of the command-line options supported by each server. You can modify each server's command line directly if you need to further customize the behavior of Crystal Enterprise.

Throughout this section, values provided in square brackets [ ] are optional.

To view or modify a server's command line

The procedure for viewing or modifying a server's command line depends upon your operating system:

• On Windows, use the CCM to stop the server. Then open the server's Properties to modify the command line. Start the server again when you have finished.
• On UNIX, run ccm.sh to stop the server. Then edit ccm.config to modify the server's command line. Start the server again when you have finished.

  Note:    On UNIX, each server's command line is actually passed as an argument to the crystalrestart.sh script. This script launches the server and monitors it in case an automatic restart is required. See the ccm.config file and crystalrestart.sh.
