Running Partitions
Note Options that are typically static, and pertinent to both managed and
unmanaged Partitions, are best encapsulated in the Partition's configuration
files.
Table 3.1 Partition command options
Option Description
-Dlog4j.configuration Path to the Partition's log4j
configuration file. Default is
<partitionpath>/adm/properties/
logConfiguration.xml
-Dlog4j.configuration.update.delay Specifies the period, in milliseconds,
between checks for updates to the
log4j configuration file. Default is
60000 milliseconds (1 minute).
-Dpartition.ignore_shutdown_on_signal=<true|
false>
Use this property to decide whether to
ignore shutdown signals and wait for a
shutdown request via the Partition's
management interface(s). Note that
UNIX sends a Ctrl-C signal to all
processes in a process group.
A Partition in control of its own life
cycle would not set this. When the
Partition is invoked by some parent
controlling process, such as the SCU,
then this would be set to true to ensure
that the Partition does not immediately
exit when the parent is issued a
shutdown signal.
-Dpartition.default.smartagent.port Overrides the User ORB Smart Agent
port and overrides all Partition
configuration. This property is only
overridden by -Dvbroker.agent.port.
Typically used by a parent controlling
process, such as the SCU.
-Dpartition.default.smartagent.addr Overrides User ORB Smart Agent addr
property and overrides all Partition
configuration. Is only overridden by -
Dvbroker.agent.addr.
Typically used by a parent controlling
process, such as the SCU.
-Dvbroker.agent.port Ultimate override for the User ORB
Smart Agent port.
This is typically never used by a parent
controlling process, but it may be used
by a command-line user.
-Dvbroker.agent.addr Ultimate override for the User ORB
Smart Agent addr.
Typically never used by a parent
controlling process, but it may be used
by a command-line user.
