How to use -jvmopt switch for microgateway.sh script

[John_Carter4 (John Carter)]

Hi,
I want to be able to pass jvm options when starting the micro gateway. The documentation refers to -jvmopt or --jvm_opt but I don’t how to format the argument

For instance I would like to connect a debugger with

'-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5000

so I tried

$ ./microgateway.sh start -ua delegated -p 4487 -gw http://localhost:7777 -gwu Administrator -gwp manage -apis AppDynamicsTEST --jvm_option '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5000'

and got back

Unrecognized option: -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5000
usage: microgateway <action> <options>

Tried removing the ‘-’, escaping etc. etc. in which case it treats it as the main class to run and spits out ‘No Such Class Exception’.

Anyone know the correct syntax ?

regards,
John.

It turns out the issue was my jvm opt was invalid

Should have used runjwdp instead. However, you do need to ensure that the argument is quoted and that you don’t specify more than one argument per jvm opt e.g.

$ ./microgateway.sh start -ua delegated -p 4487 -apis AppDynamicsTEST -jvmopt '-Xdebug' -jvmopt '-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005'
