You can dump the configuration database to a file whose name you specify by typing the following command:
Syntax
fathom -dump <filename>
The resulting file will be in XML format and will contain an XML representation of all definitions in the configuration database. You can use this resulting file in OpenEdge Management, for example, either as a potential single-file backup of the database or to assist with diagnostics regarding database performance.
Note that you can run the dump command when both the AdminServer and OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer are running, or when they are both not running. Since Fathom is a plugin to the AdminServer, you cannot issue the fathom -dump command unless both the AdminServer and OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer are running, or they are both not running.
You can also use the -httpport argument, as follows, to identify the port of the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer Web server:
