Configuration and Operational Commands

MSGMX provides a full set of commands to manipulate configuration settings, modify the EMS server, and display current settings.

Configuration Commands

All configuration settings are manipulated with MSGMX. No manual editing of a configuration JSON file is required.

EMS Server configuration changes can take effect immediately or after a deployment is made.

  • Dynamically (live): You can make dynamic changes to an operational EMS server. Dynamic changes do not impact core server functionality unrelated to the change. The changes typically take effect immediately, without a server restart being necessary.

  • Deployment (non-live): For changes that impact the server and operations on a larger scale (stores and transports), you must deploy changes after entering them by restarting the server. Undeployed changes such as these are displayed with a heading "Undeployed Store Changes" for stores and "Undeployed Transport Changes" for transports.

Operational Commands

Operational MSGMX EMS commands do not change configuration settings but cause dynamic changes to the EMS server. For example, you can delete, purge, or reset states on the EMS server. These actions occur immediately and do not need to be deployed.
