Service Startup Options

Various commands can be sent to the adTempus service through the use of service startup options. These options are sent to adTempus using the Start parameters box when starting the adTempus service using the Windows Services tool.

To apply these options, stop the service, then enter the appropriate option(s) in the Start parameters box and click Start to start the service.

You must click Start to start the service while the service properties are displayed. The Start parameters are only applied if you start the service while the service properties are displayed. Once you close the window (using OK or Cancel) the Start parameters are discarded and are not used the next time you start the service.

Available Options

The following options are available:

Option	Description
-norun	Disables all job execution until the service is restarted without the option. Note: This option is only available beginning with adTempus 4.0.3. For earlier versions, use one of the other available methods for suppressing job execution.
-nostartup	Suppresses all Startup Triggers. All other triggers work normally.
-purgemirroreddata	When applied to an Agent, causes the Agent to purge all jobs and other data that it has received from the Master.
-resetmaster	When applied to an Agent, causes the Agent to discard its attachment to its Master server. Once this is done, it will attach to the first Master that connects to it. When you use this option, all data from the current Master is discarded (the same as if the "-purgemirroreddata" option is set). The Master can also be reset using the Engine Mode utility.
-resetidentity	Carries out the same actions as "-resetmachineid" and also regenerates the encryption keys used for encrypting and signing communications with other adTempus servers.
-resetmachineid	Resets the Machine ID that identifies this adTempus instance. Using this option also applies "-resetdbowner". See Machine ID and Database Ownership.
-resetdbowner	Resets the owner information in the adTempus database. See Machine ID and Database Ownership.
-ignoredbowner	Temporarily ignores the owner information in the adTempus database, allowing adTempus to start using a database that belongs to another instance. See Machine ID and Database Ownership.
