Chapter 6 Using the EMS Administration Tool : Starting the EMS Administration Tool

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.
On a computer running Windows, you can also start the administration tool from the Start menu, following the path Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO EMS 8.0 > Start EMS administration tool.
The EMS server must be started as described in Chapter 5, Running the EMS Server before you start the EMS Administration Tool.
Type tibemsadmin -help to display information about tibemsadmin startup parameters. All tibemsadmin parameters are optional.
Table 15 lists options for tibemsadmin.
-help or -h
-script script-file
Execute the specified text file containing tibemsadmin commands then quit. Any valid tibemsadmin command described in this chapter can be executed.
-server server-url
-user user-name
-password password
-mangle [password]
-ssl_issuer filename
 
When a command specifies -user and -password, that information is not stored for later use. It is only used to connect to the server specified in the same command line. The user name and password entered on one command line are not reused with subsequent connect commands entered in the script file or interactively.
Some options are needed when you choose to make a SSL connection. For more information on SSL connections, refer to Chapter 18, Using the SSL Protocol.
When You First Start tibemsadmin
The administration tool has a default user with the name admin. This is the default user for logging in to the administration tool.
To protect access to the server configuration, you must assign a password to the user admin.

Use the set password command to change the password:
   set password admin password
When you restart the administration tool and type connect, the administration tool now requires your password before connecting to the server.
For further information about setting and resetting passwords, refer to set password on page 142.
