Issue: Below Option missing in GP help.

-P last_http_port The last port number in a range of HTTP port numbers (http_port to last_http_port, inclusive) on which gpfdist will attempt to serve files. gpfdist serves the files on the first port number in the range to which it successfully binds.

-s Enables simplified logging. When this option is specified, only messages with WARN level and higher are written to the gpfdist log file. INFO level messages are not written to the log file. If this option is not specified, all gpfdist messages are written to the log file.

--sslclean wait_time When the utility is run with the --ssl option, sets the number of seconds that the utility delays before closing an SSL session and cleaning up the SSL resources after it completes writing data to or from a Greenplum Database segment. The default value is 0, no delay. The maximum value is 500 seconds. If the delay is increased, the transfer speed decreases. In some cases, this error might occur when copying large amounts of data: gpfdist server closed connection. To avoid the error, you can add a delay, for example -- sslclean 5.

-c config.yaml Specifies rules that gpfdist uses to select a transform to apply when loading or extracting data. The gpfdist configuration file is a YAML 1.1 document. For information about the file format, see Configuration File Format in the Greenplum Database Administrator Guide. For information about configuring data transformation with gpfdist, see Transforming External Data with gpfdist and gpload in the Greenplum Database Administrator Guide. This option is not available on Windows platforms.

RUNNING GPFDIST AS A WINDOWS SERVICE

Greenplum Loaders allow gpfdist to run as a Windows Service.

Follow the instructions below to download, register and activate gpfdist as a service:

  1. Update your Greenplum Loader package to the latest version. This package is available from the EMC Download Center. (https://emc.subscribenet.com)

  2. Register gpfdist as a Windows service:

    a. Open a Windows command window

    b. Run the following command:

    sc create gpfdist binpath= "path_to_gpfdist.exe -p 8081 -d External\load\files\path -l Log\file\path"

    You can create multiple instances of gpfdist by running the same command again, with a unique name and port number for each instance, for example:

    sc create gpfdistN binpath= "path_to_gpfdist.exe -p 8082 -d External\load\files\path -l Log\file\path"

  3. Activate the gpfdist service:

    a. Open the Windows Control Panel and select Administrative Tools>Services.

    b. Highlight then right-click on the gpfdist service in the list of services.

    c. Select Properties from the right-click menu, the Service Properties window opens.

    Note that you can also stop this service from the Service Properties window.

    d. Optional: Change the Startup Type to Automatic (after a system restart, this service will be running), then under Service status, click Start.

    e. Click OK.

Repeat the above steps for each instance of gpfdist that you created.
