These tools can be run without arguments, in which case they start a Server or on port 3278 (for Data Servers) or 3279 (for Display Servers) on the local host. (Note that these are the default ports used by the Deployment Configuration Editor—see Using the Deployment Configuration Editor in the Preparing Dashboards for Deployment section of Using Apama Studio). You can specify a different port with the -d or --dataPort option.

The -c or --correlator option allows you to specify the deployment host and port for a given correlator logical name. See Changing Correlator Definitions for Deployment in the Preparing Dashboards for Deployment chapter of the Using Apama Studio.

You can enable logging with the -f and -v (or --logfile and --loglevel) options or with the log4j properties file.

All this tool’s options are described in the next section.
