ODABA Server Commands

Server commands allow running maintenance utilities from a remote client. Following server commands may be called:

• DBBackup - create a database backup
• DBCheck - check database consistence
• DBConnect - Check database connection and download files
• DBRestore - restore database
• DBSysInfo - provide database system information
• KillAll - kill all active clients
• KillClient - kill special client
• SendMessage - send messages to one or more clients
• ShowClients - show active clients
• ShutDown - shut down the server
• StartPause - pausing write transactions
• StopPause - restart write transactions

Server commands may be called from a command line in MS CMD or UNIX shell. Server commands act as clients and can be started from any computer in the network that has installed server commands or on the server itself.

In order to access databases or files in a flexible manner, file/database references may be provided via symbolic names (sym_name).
