PAS for OpenEdge includes the standard Apache Tomcat administrative utilities ( startup , shutdown , configtest , version , and so on).

However, PAS for OpenEdge includes the TCMAN command line utility as an interface to administrative functionality provided by core Tomcat scripts and more. You will find extended administrative functionality that is easier to find and to use if you run TCMAN rather than running the Tomcat scripts directly. In addition, the TCMAN administrative functionality is tailored specifically for use with PAS for OpenEdge.
