Admin Tools

Overview

The admin tools for this system are largely built around maven plugins and projects.  There are a couple of reasons for this:

• Admin tools can be run in a platform-independent way

• Admin tools can be easily configured to run within Eclipse as run configurations

• Admin tools can be easily wired to CI server environments (or something like MaestroDev).

Prerequisites

For most admin tools to run a database has to exist and be loaded and the indexes directory for Lucene has to be set up and have permissions.  

IMPORTANT: When running admin tools via mojos, make sure you stop the server first - otherwise processes will compete over the indexes resulting in corruption and a need to reindex all objects (See the Reindex Objects tool for how to do that).

Tools

The following admin tools are available:

• AdHoc and Patch Data

• Create Database

• Reindex Objects

• Generate Sample Data

• QA Database

• Clone Refset Database
