Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Command-line utilities reference

The command-line management utilities are a set of utilities for Windows and UNIX that allow you to manage existing configurations. Like the Progress Explorer tool, the command-line management utilities run as clients of the OpenEdge AdminServer to manage the NameServer and Unified Broker products. (Unified Broker products are discussed in detail in Chapter 11, " Configuring OpenEdge Unified Broker Products.")

Using these utilities, you can locally or remotely start, stop, manage, and monitor the status of Unified Broker execution. Unlike the Progress Explorer, they do not help you create, remove, or modify properties for Unified Broker configurations.

The framework supports several different product-specific command-line configuration utilities that you can use to manage—that is, start, stop, and query activities—installed OpenEdge server products.:

Table 10–7 identifies the product-specific command-line utilities available.
