Command Options
You can specify optional command options when starting a Model Manager server using the syntax
comsolmodelmanagerserver.exe [<options>]
on Windows® and
comsol modelmanagerserver [<options>]
on Linux® and macOS platforms. See Table 2-1 for various command options available for the server.
Table 2-1: Command options for a Model Manager server.
Option
Description
-c
Path to license file.
-comsolinifile
Path to ini-file to use when launching.
-h, -help
Show help message.
-port
Port number used by the server.
-prefsdir
Path to preference directory.
-tmpdir

-v, -version
Show version information.
The default ini-file is found in the installation directory for the Model Manager server:
•
Windows®: <Installation directory>\bin\win64
•
Linux®: <Installation directory>/bin/glnxa64
•
macOS: <Installation directory>/bin/maci64
The filename is comsolmodelmanagerservice.ini if running as a Windows® service. Otherwise, it is comsolmodelmanagerserver.ini.
You can add to the ini-file any command option in Table 2-1 that specify a configuration setting — insert Dcs. between the dash and the option name and separate the option value with an equals-sign. To use a custom preference directory, for example, add the line:
-Dcs.prefsdir=<Path to preference directory>
Remember to restart the Model Manager server after saving the file for any new configuration setting to apply.
