Starting the MXCS Service
-TCP tcp-process
specifies the Guardian name of the TCP/IP process. If TCPIP^process^name is 
defined before starting MXOAS, that name is used. If TCPIP^process^name is 
not defined, the default name is $ZTC0.
-EMS collector-name
specifies the name of the EMS collector to be used for event messages generated 
by MXCS; the default is $0.
-PN port number
specifies the starting port number (in decimal) for connections to the MXCS 
association server; the default is 18650. This port number is used as the single 
point of contact for all ODBC applications connecting to that IP address; internally 
MXCS manages the range of port numbers defined by -PR to ensure that each 
server has a separate port within the port range.
-PR port-range
specifies the number of ports that can be used simultaneously for connections to 
the MXCS association server (including the starting port number). The minimum 
requirement is 3 port numbers; the default is 250. The port range specified must 
not conflict with port numbers used by other applications.
-I
specifies the interactive startup mode for the association server. When this mode is 
specified, the association server is created in the STOPPED state and you must 
use NSM/web to enable it. The default is the non-interactive state.
-E detail-level
0 Minimum, critical events only
1 Informational events
2 Internal state transition events
The default value is 0.
-RMC alternate-collector-name
specifies the name of the alternate EMS collector to be used for resource statistics 
generated by MXCS. If option [-RMC alternate-collector-name] is not provided, 
MXCS Server Trace sends trace messages to the primary EMS collector.You must 
start the alternate collector before starting MXCS. If resource statistics is enabled 
but the alternate collector is not started, an error message is logged to the default 
collector ($0). See Configuring Statistics Collection on page 3-15.
