     7  
     8  The `peer channel` command allows administrators to perform channel related
     9  operations on a peer, such as joining a channel or listing the channels to which
    10  a peer is joined.
    11  
    12  ## Syntax
    13  
    14  The `peer channel` command has the following subcommands:
    15  
    16    * create
    17    * fetch
    18    * getinfo
    19    * join
    20    * joinbysnapshot
    21    * joinbysnapshotstatus
    22    * list
    23    * signconfigtx
    24    * update
    25

   295  
   296    ```
   297  
   298    Block 0 is returned indicating that the channel has been successfully created.
   299  
   300  Here's an example of the `peer channel create` command option.
   301  
   302  * Create a new channel `mychannel` for the network, using the orderer at ip
   303    address `orderer.example.com:7050`.  The configuration update transaction
   304    required to create this channel is defined the file `./createchannel.tx`.
   305    Wait 30 seconds for the channel to be created.
   306  
   307    ```
   308      peer channel create -c mychannel --orderer orderer.example.com:7050 -f ./createchannel.tx -t 30s
   309  
   310      2018-02-23 06:31:58.568 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   311      2018-02-23 06:31:58.669 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 019 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   312      2018-02-23 06:31:58.877 UTC [channelCmd] readBlock -> INFO 020 Received block: 0
   313      2018-02-23 06:31:58.878 UTC [main] main -> INFO 021 Exiting.....
   314  
   315      ls -l
   316  
   317      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11982 Feb 25 12:24 mychannel.block
   318  
   319    ```
   320  
   321    You can see that channel `mychannel` has been successfully created, as
   322    indicated in the output where block 0 (zero) is added to the blockchain for
   323    this channel and returned to the peer, where it is stored in the local
   324    directory as `mychannel.block`.
   325  
   326    Block zero is often called the *genesis block* as it provides the starting
   327    configuration for the channel.  All subsequent updates to the channel will be
   328    captured as configuration blocks on the channel's blockchain, each of which
   329    supersedes the previous configuration.
   330  
   331  ### peer channel fetch example
   332  
   333  Here's some examples of the `peer channel fetch` command.
   334  
   335  * Using the `newest` option to retrieve the most recent channel block, and
   336    store it in   the file `mychannel.block`.
   337  
   338    ```
   339    peer channel fetch newest mychannel.block -c mychannel --orderer orderer.example.com:7050
   340  
   341    2018-02-25 13:10:16.137 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   342    2018-02-25 13:10:16.144 UTC [channelCmd] readBlock -> INFO 00a Received block: 32
   343    2018-02-25 13:10:16.145 UTC [main] main -> INFO 00b Exiting.....
   344  
   345    ls -l
   346  
   347    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11982 Feb 25 13:10 mychannel.block
   348  
   349    ```
   350  
   351    You can see that the retrieved block is number 32, and that the information
   352    has been written to the file `mychannel.block`.
   353  
   354  * Using the `(block number)` option to retrieve a specific block -- in this
   355    case, block number 16 -- and store it in the default block file.
   356  
   357    ```
   358    peer channel fetch 16  -c mychannel --orderer orderer.example.com:7050
   359  
   360    2018-02-25 13:46:50.296 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   361    2018-02-25 13:46:50.302 UTC [channelCmd] readBlock -> INFO 00a Received block: 16
   362    2018-02-25 13:46:50.302 UTC [main] main -> INFO 00b Exiting.....
   363  
   364    ls -l
   365  
   366    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11982 Feb 25 13:10 mychannel.block
   367    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4783 Feb 25 13:46 mychannel_16.block
   368  
   369    ```
   370  
   371    You can see that the retrieved block is number 16, and that the information
   372    has been written to the default file `mychannel_16.block`.
   373  
   374    For configuration blocks, the block file can be decoded using the
   375    [`configtxlator` command](./configtxlator.html). See this command for an example
   376    of decoded output. User transaction blocks can also be decoded, but a user
   377    program must be written to do this.
   378  
   379  ### peer channel getinfo example
   380  
   381  Here's an example of the `peer channel getinfo` command.
   382  
   383  * Get information about the local peer for channel `mychannel`.
   384  
   385    ```
   386    peer channel getinfo -c mychannel
   387  
   388    2018-02-25 15:15:44.135 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   389    Blockchain info: {"height":5,"currentBlockHash":"JgK9lcaPUNmFb5Mp1qe1SVMsx3o/22Ct4+n5tejcXCw=","previousBlockHash":"f8lZXoAn3gF86zrFq7L1DzW2aKuabH9Ow6SIE5Y04a4="}
   390    2018-02-25 15:15:44.139 UTC [main] main -> INFO 006 Exiting.....
   391  
   392    ```
   393  
   394    You can see that the latest block for channel `mychannel` is block 5.  You
   395    can also see the cryptographic hashes for the most recent blocks in the
   396    channel's blockchain.
   397  
   398  ### peer channel join example
   399  
   400  Here's an example of the `peer channel join` command.
   401  
   402  * Join a peer to the channel defined in the genesis block identified by the file
   403    `./mychannel.genesis.block`. In this example, the channel block was
   404    previously retrieved by the `peer channel fetch` command.
   405  
   406    ```
   407    peer channel join -b ./mychannel.genesis.block
   408  
   409    2018-02-25 12:25:26.511 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   410    2018-02-25 12:25:26.571 UTC [channelCmd] executeJoin -> INFO 006 Successfully submitted proposal to join channel
   411    2018-02-25 12:25:26.571 UTC [main] main -> INFO 007 Exiting.....
   412  
   413    ```
   414  
   415    You can see that the peer has successfully made a request to join the channel.
   416  
   417  ### peer channel joinbysnapshot example
   418  
   419  Here's an example of the `peer channel joinbysnapshot` command.
   420  
   421  * Join a peer to the channel from a snapshot identified by the directory
   422    `/snapshots/completed/testchannel/1000`. The snapshot was previously created on a different peer.
   423  
   424    ```
   425    peer channel joinbysnapshot --snapshotpath /snapshots/completed/testchannel/1000
   426  
   427    2020-10-12 11:41:45.442 EDT [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 001 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   428    2020-10-12 11:41:45.444 EDT [channelCmd] executeJoin -> INFO 002 Successfully submitted proposal to join channel
   429    2020-10-12 11:41:45.444 EDT [channelCmd] joinBySnapshot -> INFO 003 The joinbysnapshot operation is in progress. Use "peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus" to check the status.
   430  
   431    ```
   432  
   433    You can see that the peer has successfully made a request to join the channel from the specified snapshot.
   434    When a `joinbysnapshot` operation is in progress, you cannot run another `peer channel join`
   435    or `peer channel joinbysnapshot` simultaneously. To know whether or not a joinbysnapshot operation is in progress,
   436    you can call the `peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus` command.
   437  
   438  
   439  ### peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus example
   440  
   441  Here are some examples of the `peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus` command.
   442  
   443  * Query if joinbysnapshot is in progress for any channel. If yes,
   444    it returns a message indicating a joinbysnapshot operation is in progress.
   445  
   446    ```
   447    peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus
   448  
   449    2020-10-12 11:41:45.952 EDT [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 001 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   450    A joinbysnapshot operation is in progress for snapshot at /snapshots/completed/testchannel/1000
   451    ```
   452  
   453  * If no `joinbysnapshot` operation is in progress, it returns a message indicating no joinbysnapshot operation is in progress.
   454  
   455    ```
   456    peer channel joinbysnapshotstatus
   457  
   458    2020-10-12 11:41:47.922 EDT [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 001 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   459    No joinbysnapshot operation is in progress
   460  
   461    ```
   462  
   463  ### peer channel list example
   464  
   465    Here's an example of the `peer channel list` command.
   466  
   467    * List the channels to which a peer is joined.
   468  
   469      ```
   470      peer channel list
   471  
   472      2018-02-25 14:21:20.361 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   473      Channels peers has joined:
   474      mychannel
   475      2018-02-25 14:21:20.372 UTC [main] main -> INFO 006 Exiting.....
   476  
   477      ```
   478  
   479      You can see that the peer is joined to channel `mychannel`.
   480  
   481  ### peer channel signconfigtx example
   482  
   483  Here's an example of the `peer channel signconfigtx` command.
   484  
   485  * Sign the `channel update` transaction defined in the file
   486    `./updatechannel.tx`. The example lists the configuration transaction file
   487    before and after the command.
   488  
   489    ```
   490    ls -l
   491  
   492    -rw-r--r--  1 anthonyodowd  staff   284 25 Feb 18:16 updatechannel.tx
   493  
   494    peer channel signconfigtx -f updatechannel.tx
   495  
   496    2018-02-25 18:16:44.456 GMT [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 001 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   497    2018-02-25 18:16:44.459 GMT [main] main -> INFO 002 Exiting.....
   498  
   499    ls -l
   500  
   501    -rw-r--r--  1 anthonyodowd  staff  2180 25 Feb 18:16 updatechannel.tx
   502  
   503    ```
   504  
   505    You can see that the peer has successfully signed the configuration
   506    transaction by the increase in the size of the file `updatechannel.tx` from
   507    284 bytes to 2180 bytes.
   508  
   509  ### peer channel update example
   510  
   511  Here's an example of the `peer channel update` command.
   512  
   513  * Update the channel `mychannel` using the configuration transaction defined in
   514    the file `./updatechannel.tx`. Use the orderer at ip address
   515    `orderer.example.com:7050` to send the configuration transaction to all peers
   516    in the channel to update their copy of the channel configuration.
   517  
   518    ```
   519    peer channel update -c mychannel -f ./updatechannel.tx -o orderer.example.com:7050
   520  
   521    2018-02-23 06:32:11.569 UTC [channelCmd] InitCmdFactory -> INFO 003 Endorser and orderer connections initialized
   522    2018-02-23 06:32:11.626 UTC [main] main -> INFO 010 Exiting.....
   523  
   524    ```
   525  
   526    At this point, the channel `mychannel` has been successfully updated.
