Using TEA Shell Commands

TEA shell commands can be used to create, monitor, and manage runtime entities.

TEA shell commands are aligned with bwadmin commands.

The steps in this section show you some simple TEA shell commands for creating a domain, AppSpace, and AppNode and starting the AppSpace. For a complete list of all supported commands, see TEA Shell Commands.

At any time in the TEA shell, press the tab key for a list of supported commands available for the context. To get help on a command, type the command with the --help option, for example: create --help
