DESCRIPTIONovbbccb command is used to control HTTPS communication using Communica‐
tion Broker proxies on local nodes. It controls starting of the Commu‐
nication Broker as a background daemon process or in normal mode, stop‐
ping, and re-initializing of the Communication Broker. ovbbccb is also
used to start and stop OV resource groups in the Communication Broker.
ovbbccb can also be used to list all active OV resource groups and all
applications registered to a Communication Broker, to check whether
specified communication services are alive and to display details about
the current state of the server.
Parameters
The ovbbccb command incorporates the options in the following list. The
syntax for the [<hostname>|<ip>][:<port>]] string, for example; in the
options -registrations or -ping, can be a hostname and a port separated
by a colon (:) but can also be a full URL path including protocol. for
example:
https://merlin.guilford.mycom.com:383/com.hp.ov.coda
ovbbccb recognizes the following options:
-h|-help
Displays and describes the available options for the ovbbccb
command.
-version
Displays the version of the OV communication in use.
-install
Installs the HP OpenView Communications Broker program as a ser‐
vice on an MS Windows machine.
-remove
Removes the HP OpenView Communications Broker program from the
services on an MS Windows machine.
-daemon
Starts the Communication Broker either as a background daemon
process on a UNIX machine or a service on an MS Windows machine.
-nodaemon
Starts the Communication Broker as a foreground process
(default).
-debug
Disable Control-C signal handler for debugging.
-verbose
Shows more detailed output.
-start <ovrg> [<hostname>|<ip>]
Starts the OV resource group specified by <ovrg> in the Communi‐
cation Broker on the host specified by <hostname> or <ip>. If
the hostname or IP is not specified, ovbbccb uses the local host
as the host. You must configure the resource group on a cluster
node to use this option.
-stop <ovrg> [<hostname>|<ip>]
Stops the OV resource group specified by <ovrg> in the Communi‐
cation Broker on the host specified by <hostname> or <ip>. If
the hostname or IP is not specified, ovbbccb uses the local host
as the host. You must configure the resource group on a cluster
node to use this option.
-kill [<hostname>|<ip>]
Stops the Communication Broker on the host specified by <host‐
name> or <ip>. If the hostname or IP is not specified, ovbbccb
used the local host as the host. You must set the LOCAL_CON‐
TROL_ONLY parameter to false to make this option work on a
remote node.
-reinit [<hostname>|<ip>]
The Communication Broker specified in <hostname> or <ip>
reloads the configuration data and is re-initialized. If the
hostname or IP is not specified, ovbbccb uses the local host as
the host.
The SIGHUP signal may also be used on UNIX systems to re-ini‐
tialize the Communication Broker process.
You must set the LOCAL_CONTROL_ONLY parameter to false to make
this option work on a remote node.
-listovrg [<hostname>|<ip>]
Displays a list of all active OV resource groups for the Commu‐
nication Broker on the node specified by <hostname> or <ip>. If
the hostname or IP is not specified, ovbbccb uses the local host
as the host. You must set the LOCAL_CONTROL_ONLY parameter to
false to make this option work on a remote node.
-ping {[<hostname>|<ip>[:<port>]] | [<uri>]}
Pings the specified HP OpenView server process. A hostname or IP
address with an optional port number or a URI may be given to
locate the server process to ping. If a URI is given with the
path of a valid process registered with the Communication Bro‐
ker, the Communication Broker will automatically forward the
ping to the registered process. The node may be specified with a
hostname or IP address. Default for the node is "localhost".
Default for the port is the HP OpenView Communication Broker
port on the specified node.
-status {[<hostname>|<ip>[:<port>]] | [<uri>]}
Displays the status of the specified HP OpenView server process.
A hostname or IP address with an optional port number may be
given to locate the server process. Default for the node is
"localhost". Default for the port is the HP OpenView Communica‐
tion Broker port on the specified node.
AUTHORovbbccb was developed by Hewlett-Packard Company.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
ovbbccb exited normally with no error.
1
Command syntax error encountered. See command syntax for more
details on possible values.
2
Command partially succeeded.
3
Command failed. See command output for more detailed informa‐
tion.
4
The Communications Broker start command failed because a Commu‐
nications Broker process is already running
5
The Communications Broker failed to start because a Local Loca‐
tion Broker process is already running. The HP OpenView Communi‐
cations Broker is not supported on systems running the LLB. Stop
the LLB before attempting to start the Communications Broker.
6
The Communications Broker failed to stop because the Communica‐
tions Broker process is already stopped.
7
The Communications Broker failed to start due to a bind excep‐
tion on the Communications Broker port to be opened.
8
The Communications Broker could not complete the command due to
an authorization error.
100
An exception was encountered causing the Communications Broker
to exit.
Corresponding error messages are written to stderror.
EXAMPLES
The following examples show you how to use the ovbbccb command:
· To start the Communication Broker as a daemon process on the local
system:
ovbbccb-daemon
· To start the OV resource group WebCluster1 in the Communication Bro‐
ker on host merlin:
ovbbccb-start WebCluster1 merlin
· To display the status of the specified HP OpenView server process:
ovbbccb-status
Status: OK
