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.
If the HTTP port is disabled, the manager actions of the tcman command fail with the following error message:
the manager application network port 8810 is not open

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:
