PASMAN is a command-line utility that always invokes TCMAN from the PAS for OpenEdge installation directory ( OpenEdge-Install-Dir /servers/pasoe/bin ). You can apply TCMAN actions to an instance by using the -I instance_name option with PASMAN.

The script for PASMAN is located in OpenEdge-Install-Dir /bin which is usually included in your PATH environment variable.

PASMAN takes the same options and actions as TCMAN. However, you must specify an instance name (using -I instance_name ) whenever an action applies to a specific instance.

Syntax

pasman action  [general_options] [action_options ]

Parameters

action
Specify which TCMAN action to invoke. See the TCMAN Reference in PAS for OpenEdge Administration Tools Reference, for information on actions.
general_options

Specify one or more of the TCMAN common options that can apply to most actions.

The output of tcman.sh help action includes a list of the general options that are applicable to the specified action .

Important:

When an action affects a specific instance, you must explicity reference the instance using the -I instance_name general option with PASMAN. If you do not specify an instance name, the action applies to the server installation directory in $CATALINA_HOME . The actions where you can use -I with PASMAN to specify a particular instance are:

Action Description
clean Clean up or archive log files.
config Display and manage configurations
deploy Deploy a Web application
disable Stop a Web application
enable Start a Web application
env Display runtime environment information
feature Display or modify server features
info Display OS and server information
leaks Display memory leaks
list List deployed applications
plist List process ids
reload Reload a Web application
resources Display global server resources
service Register and manage an instance as a Windows service
sessions Display Web application HTTP sessions
showproc Show Windows process information
start Start an instance
status Display detailed server status
stop Stop an instance
test Test a server configuration
undeploy Undeploy a Web application
version Display server, OS, and runtime version information

Other actions only apply to the PAS for OpenEdge installation in OpenEdge-Install-Dir /servers/pasoe/bin and not to instances. These core server actions, where -I instance_name should not be used with PASMAN, are:

Action Description
create Create an instance
delete Delete an instance
instances Display server instances
register Register an instance for tracking
unregister Stop tracking an instance
workers Create a Tomcat worker configuration file
action_options
Specify an option that applies to the selected action . These options are explained in the topics that describe each action.
