Run the database maintenance utility in background (batch) on Unix

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

To start the Service Manager database utility in the background, you must first create an input file that contains the commands that are normally entered using the keyboard.

To run the database maintenance utility in the background (batch) on Unix:

  1. Shut down the Service Manager server. (This will terminate the clients as well.)
  2. Open a Unix Command prompt.
  3. Navigate to the \ Service Manager\Server\RUN directory and type the following command: sm -util <filename.in >filename.out
    Where the filename.in variable is the name of the prepared input file and the filename.out variable is the name of the file containing the output.
  4. Check the output. If you receive error messages, contact Customer Support for assistance.
