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.
