IBM Streams 4.3.0

Viewing IBM Streams name service references for applications

Use the Streams Console or the streamtool getnsentry command to query the name service of an IBM® Streams instance.

About this task

IBM Streams stores service references for the applications that are running in an instance. IBM Streams uses this service to register symbolic names that can be looked up by external applications or users.

Information about the services that are registered by an application with the IBM Streams name service is useful in determining the port that a source or sink operator is listening to so that the processing element (PE) can direct a client to connect to the appropriate port.

Procedure

Use the Streams Console General settings page to display the type of name service that is used by an IBM Streams instance.
Run the streamtool getnsentry command. For more information about command syntax and options, enter streamtool man getnsentry.
