Command Line Arguments
Bambi supports several command line arguments in order to automate the application start. The following a list of all arguments plus a short description about their usage:
| Arguments | Description | Default Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | Long | ||
-a | --auto | Auto start | false |
-c | --context | URL Context Subpath of URL | "bambi" |
-p | --port | Port Port on which bambi server is listening. | 8080 |
Sample
Here a sample how to use the command line arguments. This leads to an automated server start. The URL of the started bambi server is http://localhost:9999/myContext
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

C:\>bambi.exe -a -c myContext -p 9999 |
Device Configuration Files
Device Configuration files define the respective devices that Bambi simulates. The configuration file can be found at <base dir>/config/devices.xml One Bambi simulator can represent multiple devices. Each device is represented by one Device element in the configuration file. The following table defines some of the valid device parameters:
| Configuration Parameter | Cardinality | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /application/@BaseDir | required | directory where all Bambi Files are stored. |
| /application/@Context | required | Url base Path of the application |
| /application/@Port | required | Url Port of the application |
| //Device/@DeviceID | required | JDF DeviceID of the simulated device |
| //Device/@TrackResource | optional | resource that is tracked with Resource Audits and Resource JMF and that defines the speed for counting status JMFs. |
| //Device/@AmountResources | optional | additional resources that are tracked with Resource Audits and Resource JMF. |
| //Device/@TypeExpression | optional | regular expression of types that are accepted by the simulator |

Job Simulation Configuration Files
Job Simulation Configuration files define the respective phases of a job that Bambi simulates. The default job configuration file can be found at <base dir>/config/job.xml. Device specific configuration file can be found at <base dir>/config/job_<deviceid>.xml. Each JobPhase is iterated over individually.
| Configuration Parameter | Cardinality | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /BambiJob/@Error | optional | % chance per iteration that a random error will be inserted |
| //JobPhase/@Duration | required | maximum duration of the job phase in seconds. |
| //JobPhase/@<xxx>Status | required | device and node status and stausdetails for audits and JMF that apply to this phase |
| //Amount/@Resource | required | The resource that this amount applies to. |
| //Amount/@Speed | optional | Speed of consumption or production in implied JDF units/hour. |

Configure format Date fields
Date fields can be configured to show its value in most appropriate way. Currently, it shows in Europian way, thus "DD/MM/YYYY".
To change behaviour, user need to update next file:
- for legacy UI: "/CIP4Tools/bambi/legacy/queue2html.xsl
- "
- for new UI: "/CIP4Tools/bambi/webapp/queue2html.xsl"
In the file, near bottom of it, you will find next line:
<xsl:variable name="dateFormatter" select="'EURODate'"/>
Please, read comment in the file, about usage of the formatter and supported formats.
