Database Manager CLI: SAP DB
7.4 
Purpose
The Database Manager is the administration tool for SAP DB database instances. You can use this tool to create and monitor database instances on local and remote hosts. You can back up the data from database instances, and recover the data, if necessary.
Implementation Considerations
The
database management tool Database Manager can be called as a graphical user
interface (
Database Manager
GUI), as a Web-based tool (Web DBM), or as a
command-line oriented tool (Database Manager CLI). All three versions of this
program offer the same range of functions.
The Database Manager CLI and the Web DBM can be installed on all operating systems supported by the SAP DB database system. The Database Manager GUI can run on Microsoft Windows only.
Each
version of the Database Manager can be used for the administration of SAP DB
database instances on all operating systems supported by the SAP DB database
system (Operating System
Platforms).
You can use Version 7.4 of the Database Manager for all SAP DB database systems from Version 7.1.
A sound knowledge of database administration is required to work with the Database Manager.
You can download the Database Manager CLI program free of charge from the SAP DB Homepage http://www.sapdb.org. It is a part of the software package for the database kernel, which means it is included in the installation profiles All and Server.
For general information on the SAP DB database
system, see the documentation The SAP DB Database
