Command-line management utilities
The command-line management utilities run both in Windows and on UNIX and allow you to manage existing AppServer configurations. The management utilities for the AppServer include the:
*NSMAN utility — To manage NameServers
*ASBMAN utility — To manage AppServers
Like OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, the command-line management utilities work with the AdminServer in a client/server framework to manage AppServers and their controlling NameServers. Unlike OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, these utilities do not create a new AppServer configuration. Without OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, you must use a text editor and the configuration utilities. For more information, see Text editor and configuration utilities.
This chapter describes how to manage an AppServer using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, and the ASBMAN utility. For information on managing a NameServer using the NSMAN utility, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
Using these utilities, you can locally or remotely:
*Start and stop an AppServer
*Manage AppServer agents
*Monitor the status of an AppServer
For information on starting and managing an AppServer using the management utilities, see the Starting and managing an AppServer with the management utilities.
