LSC 1.3+ can be launched as a server which pull updates. You can control this server and request some operation through a JMX agent.

To be able to use this client, you need to launch LSC with the following JVM arguments :

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1099 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

But take care that this installation is highly unsecured ! Please look at the “Securing JMX Access” section to implement a correct security configuration.

Then you need to launch org.lsc.jmx.LscAgent with the following parameters :

• -h <hostname> : hostname to connect to, localhost if you launch LSC and its agent on the same computer
• -p <tcp> : tcp port to connect to, here 1099

You can get the list of available tasks through :

• -l : List the available tasks

Or get an asynchronous task status :

• -s <taskname> : Get a task status

Then you can add the following parameters to launch start an asynchronous task :

• -a <taskname> : start the taskname

Or stop it :

• -o <taskname> : stop the taskname

If you want to force a object synchronization for a synchronous task, add :

• -a <taskname> : start the taskname
• -i <id> : specify the main object identifier
• -t <name=value,name2=value2,…> : Specify the attributes pivot to synchronize
