There are a number of configuration options, and these are listed by entering
activemq -h.
You can configure the ActiveMQ broker by using either a configuration file or via broker URI. The default location for configuration files is in activemq/conf.
The syntax is Main start [start-options] [uri]
| Option | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -D<name>=<value> | Define a system property |
activemq -Dactivemq.home= <TalendRuntimePath>/activemq (default if using Talend ESB) |
| --version | Display the version information | activemq --version |
| -h,-?,--help | Display the start broker help information | activemq -h |
Note in the table below, the transport URI specifies the transport and ports to connect to the broker, for example TCP to connect to a remote ActiveMQ using a TCP socket, or VM which allows clients to connect to a broker in a container within the same VM. (Having multiple connectors may improve reliability and load balancing.) For the full list of options, see http://activemq.apache.org.
