Note that the merchant and the exchange -run by this command will use their own config files, so just few values -are required for it to run. - -=== RUNNING IT === - -The payment generator takes all the input from the command line. -It comes with two subcommands: 'ordinary' and 'corner'. The first -performs "ordinary" payments (payments that are supposed to get -through), whereas the second does less usual cases, with unaggregated -payments or non default instances. - -The usual --help option is provided, so the following command will -show, for instance, all the available options for the 'corner' switch. - - $ taler-merchant-benchmark corner --help - -Here is the output: - - taler-merchant-benchmark - Populate databases with corner case payments - Arguments mandatory for long options are also mandatory for short options. - -h, --help print this help - -L, --log=LOGLEVEL configure logging to use LOGLEVEL - -u, --unaggregated-number=UN - will generate UN unaggregated payments, defaults - to 1 - -t, --two-coins=TC will perform TC 2-coins payments, defaults to 1 - -m, --merchant-url=MU merchant base url, mandatory - -i, --alt-instance=AI alternative (non default) instance, used to - provide fresh wire details to make unaggregated - transactions stay so. Note, this instance will - be given far future wire deadline, and so it - should never author now-deadlined transactions, - as they would get those far future ones - aggregated too. - -b, --bank-url=BU bank base url, mandatory - -l, --logfile=LF will log to file LF - Report bugs to taler@gnu.org. - GNUnet home page: http://www.gnu.org/s/taler/ - General help using GNU software: http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/ - -The most important (and mandatory) arguments are --bank-url, -and --merchant-url. The first is used by the generator to launch -the bank; in particular, the generator tests that the bank is -actually serving that URL. The second argument is used by the -generator to reach the merchant, in order to get and pay for contracts. - -Feel free to issue the --help option for the 'ordinary' subcommand as well! |
