TCMAN is a command-line utility for administering and managing the Progress Application Server for OpenEdge. It extends the functionality that is provided by the core Apache Tomcat administrative scripts found in the instance-name /bin folder.

For more information, see the TCMAN reference in PAS for OpenEdge Administration Tools Reference.

Syntax


         {$CATALINA_HOME|$CATALINA_BASE}/bin/tcman{.sh |.bat }
 action  [ general_options ] [ 
 action_options ]

Parameters

$CATALINA_HOME|$CATALINA_BASE

$CATALINA_HOME is the path of the installation directory of PAS for OpenEdge, typically OpenEdge-Install-Dir /servers/pasoe . You always run TCMAN from $CATALINA_HOME/bin when you are creating new instances or worker configuration files. However, you can add the -I instance_alias_name option to specify an instance on which to apply the TCMAN action.

$CATALINA_BASE is the path of the directory of an instance.

Note:

TCMAN automatically determines the value of CATALINA_BASE based on the directory where you start it. When you run it from the instance-name /bin directory, the value of CATALINA_BASE is the root directory of the instance.

If you run TCMAN from the the PAS for OpenEdge installation directory ( OpenEdge-Install-Dir /servers/pasoe/bin ), the value of CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME are the same.
