DSS Host Tool (DssHost.exe)

The Decentralized Software Services (DSS) Host tool starts a DSS Node on a particular HTTP and/or TCP port running zero, one, or more services indicated on the command line.

  <strong>dsshost.exe</strong> [options]

Parameters

Option Short Name Description

/contract:{

Remarks

Once a node is running you can interact with it by entering the following URL into your Web browser:

https://localhost:<port>

where <port> is the HTTP port specified on the command line using the /port argument. Services can also be created after the node is running by going to the "Control Panel" available on the page above. You can terminate DssHost by press Ctrl-C.

Examples

From a Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio Command this example starts a DSS node running the manifest for Service Tutorial 1 on HTTP port 50000 and TCP port 50001:

dsshost /p:50000 /t:50001 /m:"samples\Config\ServiceTutorial1.manifest.xml"

This example starts a DSS node specifically indicating the security configuration file to use. Note that it is not a requirement to specify a manifest when starting a DSS node using DssHost.exe

dsshost /p:50000 /t:50001 /s:"store\SecuritySettings.xml"
