The command-line management utilities are a set of utilities for Windows and UNIX that allow you to manage existing Unified Broker configurations, including the:

Like the Progress Explorer tool, the command-line management utilities run as clients of the Progress AdminServer to manage the NameServer and Unified Broker products. This chapter describes how to manage the NameServer using the NSMAN utility and introduces how to manage the Progress Unified Brokers using their own command-line management utilities.

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.

For more information on starting and managing the NameServer using the Progress Explorer and NSMAN utility, see the "Starting Progress Unified Brokers" section. For more information on using the Progress Explorer and management utilities for your Unified Broker product, see your product documentation.

The rest of this chapter describes how to configure NameServers and begin configuration and operation of your Unified Broker product.
