The Progress Application Server implements the TCMAN command line utility as an interface to administrative functionality provided by core Tomcat scripts. You will find extended administrative functionality that is easier to find and to use if you run TCMAN rather than running the Tomcat scripts directly.
Specify whether to run TCMAN from the root directory of the installed Progress Application Server ($CATALINA_HOME) or from the root directory of an instance ( $CATALINA_BASE). The context of where you run TCMAN (whether from the /bin directory of the parent, or the /bin directory of an instance) affects which server the utility acts on.
TCMAN automatically determines the value of CATALINA_BASE from 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 it from the /bin directory of the installed Progress Application Server, the value of CATALINA_BASE is the root directory of the installed server (which is the same value as CATALINA_HOME)
