PASMAN is a command-line utility that 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 ]
Note: When using an HTTPS port for a PASOE instance, manager actions require that the Java Trust Store contains the appropriate root certificates. Unlike other administration tools, these actions do not use the %DLC%/certs store. For more information about this, see Known issues in OpenEdge 12.8.8.

Parameters

action
The TCMAN action to invoke.

For information on actions, see the TCMAN Reference.

general_options

One or more of the TCMAN common options that apply to most actions.

Type tcman.sh help action for 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, then the action applies to the server installation directory in $CATALINA_HOME. The actions that you can use -I with PASMAN to specify a particular instance are:
