Run the database maintenance utility in foreground (interactively) on Unix

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

By default, the HPE Service Manager database utility executable is located in the \ Service Manager\Server\RUN directory.

To run the database maintenance utility interactively on Unix:

  1. Open a Unix Command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the Service Manager\Server\RUN directory.
  3. To have all input and output captured in a file, issue the following Unix command:
    script scriptname.out
  4. Issue the following command to start the Service Manager database utility:
    sm -util
  5. The script ends when the forked shell exits. (Use control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
  6. Check the output. If you receive error messages, contact HPE Software Customer Support for assistance.
