Database Maintenance and Management234
2. Access the database utility by doing the following on the management server:
•On Linux:
a. Set the display if you are accessing the Database Admin Utility remotely.
The Database Admin Utility uses Perl. To set Perl in your path, enter the following command
at the command prompt:
. /opt/productname/install/setvars.sh
where /opt/productname is the directory containing the software. It is defined by
$APPIQ_DIST.
b. Go to the $APPIQ_DIST/Tools/dbAdmin directory and then enter the following at the
command prompt:
perl dbAdmin.pl
The full path to Perl is the following:
$APPIQ_DIST/JBossandJetty/server/appiq/remoteScripts/perl/bin/perl
• On Windows: Go to the %MGR_DIST%\Tools\dbAdmin directory and double-click
dbAdmin.bat.
Refreshing the Database Admin Utility

either of these components is in use, the Database Admin Utility will not work. If you are shown an
error message when you start the utility, stop the AppStorManager service, and then click the
Refresh button.
