Using local mode

Local mode allows you to configure an EAServer installation without requiring a connection to a server. Local mode is helpful in situations where it is not convenient to start a server, for example, when using jagtool to configure new installations. Not all commands can run in local mode. To see whether a command supports local mode, check the syntax listing for the command in this chapter or check the help output for the command.

To run in local mode, specify the arguments in Table 12-2.

Table 12-2: Jagtool local-mode arguments

-server servername

Specifies the name of the server to use when running in local mode. Specify the name of the server that you would connect to if running in connected mode. If you do not specify a server name, the default is Jaguar.

Local mode also requires the following:

When running jagtool or jagant locally, the user name and password arguments are optional. If supplied, these arguments are ignored.

Not all commands can run in local mode. The reference page for each command indicates whether the command supports local mode.
