Starting the EMS Administration Tool

The EMS Administration Tool is located in your EMS_HOME/bin directory and is a stand-alone executable named tibemsadmin on UNIX and tibemsadmin.exe on Windows platforms.

The EMS server must be started as described in Running the EMS Server before you start the EMS Administration Tool.

Note: When a system uses shared configuration files in the .conf format, actions performed using the tibemsadmin tool take effect only when connected to the active server.

When a system uses a shared configuration file in the .json format, most commands in the tibemsadmin tool are unavailable when connected to a server that is not in the active state. In such a situation, the only commands available are show connections, show state, shutdown, and rotatelog.

Additionally, if the tibemsadmin tool is connected to the standby server, it will be disconnected when a failover occurs.
