DESCRIPTION

The JMS server uses a database for storing persistent messages, destinations, and security information. The dbinit utility is used to create the database tables needed by the JMS server.

The msgsvc.name property is used to prefix all the objects defined in the database. This makes it possible to share a database between multiple JMS servers.

OPTIONS

-help

Prints out the command syntax.

-props propsFile

Use the specified property file instead of the default file available from the lib directory. For example:

   dbinit -props my.properties -create

-create

Create the tables needed by the JMS server.

-destroy

Destroy the tables needed by the JMS server.

-migrate

Migrate the JMS database from a previous version to version 5.1. If both the -migrate and -create flags are created, the tools with create or migrate the database tables as needed.

-info

Print out information about the JMS database. Without any additional arguments, the info command will print information about all destinations. If the -info command is followed by a destination name, information will be printed about that destination, including destination properties and unconsumed messages. As an example, this command will print information about 'myTopic':

   dbinit -info myTopic

JVM FLAGS

It is possible to pass arguments to the jvm using the -J flag. In order to set the heap size to 250 MB, the following command line may be used:

   dbinit -J-Xms250m -create
