streamtool launch

Usage

launch [-d,--domain-id <did>] [[--domainmgr] | [--console]] [-h,--help] [--trace <level>] [-v,--verbose <level>] [--zkconnect {<host>:<port>},... | --embeddedzk]

The streamtool launch command starts an Streams graphical user interface.

Authority

You do not need any authority to run this command.

Description

You can use this command to start the Streams Console or Domain Manager.

By default, the command starts the Streams Console in a web browser. The command starts your default web browser by using the htmlview command. If a default web browser is not available, you can use the streamtool geturl command to get the URL and display it in your web browser.

Options

--console
Start the Streams Console.
-d,--domain-id <did>
Specifies the domain identifier.

If you do not specify this option, Streams uses the domain name that is set in the STREAMS_DOMAIN_ID environment variable. By default, that domain name is StreamsDomain. If you are using the interactive streamtool interface, it uses the name of the active domain for the current streamtool session or else it prompts you for the domain name.

The active domain for the current streamtool session is set every time that you successfully run a streamtool command with a -d or --domain-id option. Alternatively, you can run the streamtool domain command in the interactive interface.

--domainmgr
Start the Domain Manager.
--embeddedzk

Specifies to use the embedded copy of ZooKeeper. This option is not supported within the interactive streamtool interface.

If you are not using the interactive streamtool interface and you do not specify either this option or the --zkconnect option, Streams uses the ZooKeeper connection that is associated with the active domain or the domain that is specified in the --domain-id option. Streams determines which connection maps to the domain by using cached information about the domains. In this scenario, if the domain identifier is not unique in the Streams configuration cache, the command fails.

-h,--help
Specifies to show the command syntax.
--trace <level>
Specifies the trace setting. The following valid levels are listed in order of increasing verbosity, which is to say that the first level in the list generates the least amount of information:
  • off
  • error
  • warn
  • info
  • debug
  • trace
The default value is off.
-v,--verbose <level>
Specifies to provide more detailed command output. The verbosity level can be 0-3, where 0 disables detailed reporting and each increment provides more detailed output.
--zkconnect <{<host>:<port>},...>

The name of one or more host and port pairs that specify the configured ZooKeeper servers. This option is not supported within the interactive streamtool interface.

If you are not using the interactive streamtool interface and you do not specify this option, Streams tries to use:

  1. The --embeddedzk option
  2. The value from the STREAMS_ZKCONNECT environment variable
  3. A ZooKeeper connection string that is derived from cached information about the current domain.
