The \f3servertool\fR command provides the command-line interface for developers to register, unregister, start up, and shut down a persistent server\&. Command-line commands let you obtain various statistical information about the server\&. See Commands\&.
.SHOPTIONS
.TP
-ORBInitialHost \fInameserverhost\fR
.br
This options is required\&. It specifies the host machine on which the name server runs and listens for incoming requests\&. The \f3nameserverhost\fR value must specify the port on which the \f3orb\fR is running and listening for requests\&. The value defaults to \f3localhost\fR when this option is not specified\&. If \f3orbd\fR and \f3servertool\fR are running on different machines, then you must specify the name or IP address of the host on which \f3orbd\fR is running\&.
\fINote:\fR On Oracle Solaris, you must become a root user to start a process on a port below 1024\&. Oracle recommends that you use a port number above or equal to 1024 for the \f3nameserverport\fR value\&.
.TP
-J\fIoption\fR
.br
Passes \f3option\fR to the Java Virtual Machine, where \f3option\fR is one of the options described on the reference page for the Java application launcher\&. For example, \f3-J-Xms48m\fR sets the startup memory to 48 MB\&. See java(1)\&.
.SHCOMMANDS
You can start the \f3servertool\fR command with or without a command-line command\&.
.TP0.2i
\(bu
If you did not specify a command when you started \f3servertool\fR, then the command-line tool displays the \f3servertool\fR prompt where you can enter commands: \f3servertool >\fR\&.
.TP0.2i
\(bu
If you specify a command when you start \f3servertool\fR, then the Java IDL Server Tool starts, executes the command, and exits\&.
Registers a new persistent server with the Object Request Broker Daemon (ORBD)\&. If the server is not already registered, then it is registered and activated\&. This command causes an installation method to be called in the \f3main\fR class of the server identified by the \f3-server\fR option\&. The installation method must be \f3public static void install(org\&.omg\&.CORBA\&.ORB)\fR\&. The install method is optional and lets developers provide their own server installation behavior, such as creating a database schema\&.
Unregisters a server from the ORBD with either its server ID or its application name\&. This command causes an uninstallation method to be called in the \f3main\fR class of the server identified by the \f3-server\fR option\&. The \f3uninstall\fR method must be \f3public static void uninstall(org\&.omg\&.CORBA\&.ORB)\fR\&. The \f3uninstall\fR method is optional and lets developers provide their own server uninstallation behavior, such as undoing the behavior of the \f3install\fR method\&.
Locates the endpoints (ports) of a specific type for all ORBs created by a registered server\&. If a server is not already running, then it is activated\&. If an \f3endpointType\fR value is not specified, then the plain/non-protected endpoint associated with each ORB in a server is returned\&.
Locates all the endpoints (ports) registered by a specific Object Request Broker (ORB) of registered server\&. If a server is not already running, then it is activated\&. If an \f3orbid\fR is not specified, then the default value of \f3""\fR is assigned to the \f3orbid\fR\&. If any ORBs are created with an \f3orbid\fR of empty string, then all ports registered by it are returned\&.
Lists the \f3ORBId\fR of the ORBs defined on a server\&. An \f3ORBId\fR is the string name for the ORB created by the server\&. If the server is not already running, then it is activated\&.
Shut down an active server that is registered with ORBD\&. During execution of this command, the \f3shutdown\fR method defined in the class specified by either the \f3-serverid\fR or \f3-applicationName\fR parameter is also called to shut down the server process\&.
Starts up or activate a server that is registered with ORBD\&. If the server is not running, then this command starts the server\&. If the server is already running, then an error message is displayed\&.
