Starting and testing Interaction Recording Web Services

Starting the Web Services nodes

Complete the following steps for each Web Services node, starting with the syncNode.

Start

1. To start the node, enter the following command as one complete command line entry, replacing items in square brackets [ ] with the appropriate values as described below:

   [java dir]/java -Xmx8G -Xms8G -XX:PermSize=512m -jar [home dir]/gws.jar

   • [java dir] — The home directory for Java. For example, /usr/bin/java.
   • [home dir] — The home directory you created for your Web Services web application. For example, /web-services.
   Important

   The memory allocation -Xmx8G, -Xms8G, -XX:MaxPermSize is mandatory for the Web Services node.

   For example, your command line might look like the following:

   /usr/bin/java -Xmx8G -Xms8G -XX:PermSize=512m -jar /web-services/gws.jar

End

Testing Web Services

   • ws_host — The host name or IP address for the Web Services node.
