Scripts

The $GS_HOME/bin folder includes the following scripts that can be used to manage and monitor service grid components and applications in runtime.

General Scripts

Script	Description	Open Source	XAP GigaSpaces eXtreme Application Platform. Provides a powerful solution for data processing, launching, and running digital services Enterprise	GigaSpaces Enterprise
setenv	Configure the settings for the Common Environment Variables.	✔	✔	✔
setenv-overrides	Use this script to override default settings in the setenv script.	✔	✔	✔
service-overrides	Allows changes per service without restarting the GSA Grid Service Agent. This is a process manager that can spawn and manage Service Grid processes (Operating System level processes) such as The Grid Service Manager, The Grid Service Container, and The Lookup Service. Typically, the GSA is started with the hosting machine's startup. Using the agent, you can bootstrap the entire cluster very easily, and start and stop additional GSCs, GSMs and lookup services at will.. This script will be called for every service creation.	✔	✔	✔
gs	Starts the Command Line Interface (CLI)		✔	✔
gs-agent	Starts the Grid Service Agent.		✔	✔
gs-ui	Starts the GigaSpaces Management Center.		✔	✔
gs-webui	Starts the Web Management Console.		✔	✔

Advanced Scripts

In addition to the scripts listed above, the bin folder (in the GigaSpaces commercial editions) contains additional scripts in the advanced_scripts.zip folder, which are only provided to maintain backwards compatibility with earlier versions of GigaSpaces products.

Script	Description	Open Source	Enterprise
gsc	Starts a Grid Service Container. Instead of this script, start a GSC Grid Service Container. This provides an isolated runtime for one (or more) processing unit (PU) instance and exposes its state to the GSM. as described in Managing Containers.		✔
gsm	Starts a Grid Service Manager. Instead of this script, start a GigaSpaces Manager as described in Managing the Grid Service Agent.		✔
gsm_nolus	Starts a Grid Service Manager without a Lookup Service.		✔
gs-memcached	Starts a standalone, unmanaged instance of a Memcached API listener.		✔
lookupbrowser	Used for special debug scenarios to inspect the Lookup Service.		✔
platform-info	Prints GigaSpaces version info. Instead of this script, use the gs versioncommand in the CLI.	✔
pu-instance	Runs a standalone Processing Unit This is the unit of packaging and deployment in the GigaSpaces Data Grid, and is essentially the main GigaSpaces service. The Processing Unit (PU) itself is typically deployed onto the Service Grid. When a Processing Unit is deployed, a Processing Unit instance is the actual runtime entity..

startJiniLUS	Starts a Lookup Service.		✔
startJiniTX_Mahalo	Starts an instance of the distributed transaction manager.		✔
