Guide and Reference
DBMAN Utility
Starts, stops, or queries a database. Before you can use the DBMAN command-line utility, you must use the Progress Explorer Database Configuration Tool to create the database configuration and store it in the
conmgr.properties
file.SYNTAX
-database db-name
Specifies the name of the database you want to start. It must match the name of a database in the
conmgr.properties
file.-config config-name
Specifies the name of the configuration with which you want to start the database.
-start
Starts the database db-name as defined by the configuration config-name.
-stop
Stops the database db-name.
-query
Queries the Connection Manager for the status of the database db-name.
-host host-name
Identifies the host machine where the AdminServer is running. The default is the local host. If your AdminServer is running on a remote host, you must use the
-host
host-name parameter to identify the host where the remote AdminServer is running.-port port-number|service-name
Identifies the port that the AdminServer is listening on. If your AdminServer is running on a remote host, you must use the
-port
port-number parameter to identify the port on which the remote AdminServer is listening. The default port number is 20931.-user user-name
If your AdminServer is running on a remote host, you must use the
-user
user-name parameter to supply a valid user name for that host. You will be prompted for the password.NOTES
- When you specify a user name with the
-user
parameter, Windows supports three different formats:
- A user name as a simple text string, such as “
mary
,” implies a local user whose user account is defined on the local server machine, which is the same machine that runs the AdminServer.- A user name as an explicit local user name, in which the user account is defined on the same machine that runs the AdminServer, except the user name explicitly references the local machine domain, for example “
\mary
”.- A user name as a user account on a specific NT domain. The general format is Domain
\
User, in which the User is a valid user account defined within the domain and the Domain is any valid NT server, including the one where the AdminServer is running.- Do not edit the
conmgr.properies
file directly. Instead, use the Progress Explorer Database Configuration Tool.- DBMAN supports the use of internationalization startup parameters such as,
-cpinternal
codepage
and
-cpstream
codepage. See "Database Startup Parameters," for a description of each database-related internationalization startup parameter.- The
conmgr.properties
file stores the database, configuration, and servergroup properties. For example:
