iIS Process Management Tools

Conductor Script Utility

The Conductor Script utility is the functional equivalent of the iIS Console application, but with a command-line interface. You can perform any of the functions using Conductor Script commands that you can perform in the iIS Console, but you can also incorporate these functions into scripts for execution at specified times.

For more information on the Conductor Script utility, see Chapter 8, “Using the Conductor Script Utility.”

Custom System Management Tools

In an iPlanet UDS development environment you can use the iPlanet UDS development workshops to write your own system management tools exercising the same system management agents utilized by the iIS Console and the Conductor Script utility. These custom tools allow you to automate regular system management tasks or respond automatically to particular state conditions in an engine.

Repository Management Tools

iPlanet UDS provides several command-line tools for creating (rpcreate), copying (rpcopy), starting (rpstart), stopping (rpstop), and compacting (rpclean) central development repositories and Repository Servers.

For more information on repository management tools, see the iPlanet UDS System Management Guide.

Dump/Restore Facilities

iIS provides facilities for dumping the information in an engine database to an ASCII file. These facilities—a Dump/Restore graphical user interface application and an equivalent command-line utility—are used to restore an engine database in iIS upgrades in which the engine database schema is changed. For more information on the Dump/Restore utilities, see “Dumping and Restoring Data” on page 126.
