Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

> ## NameServer command-line utilities

> Running as an independent process within the WebSpeed architecture, the NameServer supports load-balancing functionality (when the OpenEdge Server Enterprise is installed) and location transparency. The `NSMAN` and `NSCONFIG` command-line utilities manage, query the running status of, and display the NameServer configuration.

> Note: The NameServer can simultaneously support the WebSpeed Transaction Server, AppServers, and DataServers.

> ##### NSMAN utility

> You can use the `NSMAN` utility to control the operation of a configured NameServer. The utility provides the ability to start a NameServer, query a NameServer status, and shut down a NameServer.

> For more information about the `NSMAN` utility, see the "NSMAN" section.

> ##### NSCONFIG utility

> You can use the `NSCONFIG` utility to query the current configuration of an existing NameServer and to view all the option values for a specific NameServer. This utility is a diagnostic tool and can be helpful when you are attempting to validate and resolve configuration settings.

> The `NSCONFIG` configuration command runs locally only, on the machine where the NameServer is installed. The utility does not run across the network.

> For more information about the `NSCONFIG` utility, see the "NSCONFIG" section.
