TCMAN is a command-line utility for administering and managing the Progress application server. It extends the functionality that is provided by the core Apache Tomcat administrative scripts found in the server's/bin folder.
$CATALINA_HOME is the path of thedirectory where the core PAS server is installed, typically OpenEdge-Install-Dir/servers/pasoe in PAS for OpenEdge. You always run TCMAN from $CATALINA_HOME/bin when you are creating new instances or worker configuration files. However, you can add the -I instance_alias_name option to specify an instance on which to apply the TCMAN action.
$CATALINA_BASE is the path of an instance's directory.
TCMAN automatically determines the value of CATALINA_BASE based on the directory where you start it. When you run it from the /bin directory of an instance, the value of CATALINA_BASE is the root directory of the instance.
If you run TCMAN from the the core PAS server (OpenEdge-Install-Dir/servers/pasoe/bin), the value of CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME are the same.
