Administrative Functionality

Administrative tasks for a Stardust runtime environment can be performed either with the Stardust Administration Perspective or with the Stardust command line tools like the Sysconsole and the Console command.

Administrative Tasks

Especially in the case of in-production scenarios where script-based performing is required, Stardust allows to perform these tasks on the command line. Such administrative tasks include

• creation and upgrade of the audit trail database schema,
• clean-up of the audit trail and model database,
• starting, stopping and monitoring of daemons for process triggers and event handling,
• deployment of model versions and
• recovery of the runtime environment.

Whereas the Stardust Administration Perspective is a Web Application, command line tools are console applications and will be started from the command console.

The Stardust command line tools are batch programs installed in the bin directory of your Stardust installation. There are two console utilities provided with the file suffix .bat for the MS Windows platform and the suffix .sh for UNIX systems, respectively

• sysconsole.bat / sysconsole.sh and
• console.bat / console.sh.

For both tools help can be invoked to display a list of accepted commands and arguments.

Each tool follows the same command pattern:

> console [global-options] command [options]

One of the most important commands for first time users is help, which gives you the facility to get direct help to every command or option. The following table will give you an idea of the help functionality:
