Activation Command Line Utilities

For your convenience the Activation System APIs can be accessed using the following command line utilities. To access an Activation System not running on the local machine on port 2506, set the JBROKER_INITIAL_URL shell environment variable. For example, on a Windows machine, to access Activation System running on host godel on the default port, do:

   set JBROKER_INITIAL_URL=iiopboot://godel:2506

The following table summarizes the activation commands. For details please see the tools reference.
