Usage

Output a genesis block

Write a genesis block to genesis_block.pb for channel application-channel-1 for profile SampleSingleMSPRaftV1_1.

configtxgen -outputBlock genesis_block.pb -profile SampleSingleMSPRaftV1_1 -channelID application-channel-1

Output a channel creation tx (deprecated)

Note: The channel creation transaction was used in order to create a new application channel using a system channel. Because the system channel is no longer supported since release v3.0, it is now deprecated.

Write a channel creation transaction to create_chan_tx.pb for profile SampleSingleMSPChannelV1_1.

configtxgen -outputCreateChannelTx create_chan_tx.pb -profile SampleSingleMSPChannelV1_1 -channelID application-channel-1

Inspect a genesis block

Print the contents of a genesis block named genesis_block.pb to the screen as JSON.

configtxgen -inspectBlock genesis_block.pb

Inspect a channel creation tx (deprecated)

Note: The channel creation transaction was used in order to create a new application channel using a system channel. Because the system channel is no longer supported since release v3.0, it is now deprecated.

Print the contents of a channel creation tx named create_chan_tx.pb to the screen as JSON.

configtxgen -inspectChannelCreateTx create_chan_tx.pb

Construct an organization definition based on the parameters such as MSPDir from configtx.yaml and print it as JSON to the screen. (This output is useful for channel reconfiguration workflows, such as adding a member).

configtxgen -printOrg Org1

Configuration

The configtxgen tool's output is largely controlled by the content of configtx.yaml. This file is searched for at FABRIC_CFG_PATH and must be present for configtxgen to operate.

Refer to the sample configtx.yaml shipped with Fabric for all possible configuration options. You may find this file in the config directory of the release artifacts tar, or you may find it under the sampleconfig folder if you are building from source.
