The infacmd pwx CreateListenerService command uses the following syntax:
CreateListenerService

[<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name]

[<-UserName|-un> user_name]

[<-Password|-pd> password]

[<-SecurityDomain|-sdn> security_domain]

[<-Gateway|-hp> gateway_host1:port gateway_host2:port...]

[<-ResilienceTimeout|-re> timeout_period_in_seconds]

<-ServiceName|-sn> service_name

<-NodeName|-nn> node_name

[<-LicenseName|-ln> license_name]

[<-BackupNode|-bn> backup_node]

<-StartParameters|-sp> start_parameters

<-SvcPort|-sp> service_port
The following table describes infacmd pwx CreateListenerService options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
domain_name
Name of the Informatica domain. You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-UserName
-un
user_name
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.

Required if -DomainName is not specified. The host names and port numbers for the gateway nodes in the domain.
ResilienceTimeout
-re
timeout_period_in_seconds
Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or re-establish a connection to the domain. You can set the resilience timeout period with the -re option or the environment variable INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT. If you set a the resilience timeout period with both methods, the -re option takes precedence.
-ServiceName

The name is not case sensitive. The name cannot exceed 128 characters or contain carriage returns, tabs, spaces, or the following characters:
/ * ? < > " |
-NodeName
-nn
node_name
Required. Name of the node where you want the Listener Service to run.
