OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer provide a command-line interface that performs functions without the use of the graphical user interface.
Note: To use the command-line interface, HTTP must be enabled with localhost defined as a trusted client. See SettingUp Secure Communications for details.
Specifically, the command-line interface allows you to:
Start, query, and stop OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer.
Dump the contents of the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer configuration database to a readable form (an XML file) and, in the event of a catastrophic failure, use the backup dump file to restore the database.
Access command-line help.
You can also use the command-line interface to work with alerts in the following ways:
Clear an alert
Enable and disable polling
Work with alert commands
For details about working with alerts in the command line, see OpenEdge Management: Alerts Guide and Reference.
Start, query, and stop OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer.
