From Silk Central, you can download an executable JAR that starts a new execution server.
| Parameter Name | Long Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -u | --sc.url | The URL to the Silk Central server, in the format http://host:port[/instance]. The execution server machine needs access to the specified URL. |
| -t | --sc.token | The Silk Central web-service token, used for user authentication. |
| -l | --sc.location | The name of the server group (location) to which the execution server will be added. |
| -h | --sc.externalhost | Optional: The host name used by Silk Central to connect to this execution server. For example, if the execution server is started in Docker, specify the host where the container is accessible. |
| -p | --sc.externalport | Optional: The port used by Silk Central to connect to this execution server. The default port is 19124. For example, if the execution server is started in Docker, specify the published port of port 19124. The Silk Central application server needs permission to access this port. |
| -k | --sc.keywords | Optional: A comma-separated list of keywords that describe this execution server. |
| -n | --sc.execservername | Optional: The name the execution server should be registered with. |
| -rt | --sc.responsivenesstimeout | Optional: The timeout in seconds after which Silk Central sends an email to the Silk Central administrator if the execution server does not respond. If you do not want Silk Central to send emails in such a case, set the timeout to 0. |
| -sr | --sc.skipselfregistration | Optional: Suppress self-registration of the execution server. The options --sc.token and --sc.location are not required when this option is used. |
| -ssl | --sc.usessl | Optional: Whether to connect to the execution server through SSL. Boolean. |
| -ut | --sc.uptime | Optional: The time in hours after which the execution server is shut down and deregistered from Silk Central. If the server is executing some job at this time, the shutdown waits for the execution to finish first. The default value is 0, meaning that the execution server is never shut down and deregistered from Silk Central. |
| -esp | --sc.execserverport |
Optional: The port on which the execution server listens for connections from the application server. The default port is port 19124 for non-SSL connections and port 19125 for SSL connections. Specify this parameter if multiple execution servers should run on the same machine in parallel. In that case, a different port must be used for each execution server. This parameter might be useful if the execution servers are used by different Silk Central instances or installations, or with different operating system permissions. Note: Micro Focus recommends not to run more than one execution server for the same instance. Instead of running multiple servers, disable
the
Exclusive Execution option for the execution plans to enable parallel execution on the same execution server.

java -jar sc-execserverlauncher.jar -u http://sc-host:19120 -t d28930f4-9c77-4fc7-bc1d-aac4cd235d3 -l Local -ssl true
After upgrading to a newer version of Silk Central, the launcher automatically downloads the new execution server version and restarts the execution server. Additionally, whenever the execution server is terminated, for example because of a crash, the launcher will attempt to restart the execution server.
