Administering
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for HCL Domino.
- Administering with AdminCentral
  The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.

  - Administration tools
    Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
    - The Domino® Administrator
      The Domino® Administrator is the administration client for Notes® and Domino. You can use the Domino Administrator to perform most administration tasks.
    - The Server Controller and the Domino® Console
      The Server Controller is a Java-based program that controls a Domino® server. Starting the Server Controller starts the Domino server it controls. When a server runs under a Server Controller, you can send operating system commands, Controller commands, and Domino server commands to the Server Controller.
    - The Administration Process
      The Administration Process is a program that automates many routine administrative tasks.
    - Domino® server commands
      This section describes the Domino® server commands that are available, as well as methods of issuing those commands.
    - Domino® server tasks
      The information in this topic describes Domino® server tasks and their defaults in the NOTES.INI file.
    - IBM® i server commands
      You can use IBM® i server commands to manage Domino® with IBM i.
      - CFGDOMSVR
        The Configure Domino® Server command allows you to either set up a Domino server to run natively on your system, or to completely remove an existing Domino server. When configuring a Domino server, you have the option of setting up a first Domino server, or adding a Domino server to an existing Domino domain
      - CHGDOMSVR
        Use the Change Domino® Server command to change the configuration of an existing Domino server on your system.
      - Delete Domino® Shared Memory (DLTDOMSHM)
        The delete domino shared memory (DLTDOMSHM) command deletes Domino®/Sametime® shared memory segments of a specific Domino server or all Domino servers. Use this command if the server will not restart after it is shut down abnormally. When a server is shut down abnormally, bad shared memory segments might remain in the memory, which prevents the server from being restarted. This tool helps to delete any bad shared memory segments so that the server can be restarted.
      - Delete Licensed Program (DLTLICPGM)
        The Delete Licensed Program (DLTLICPGM) command allows you to delete all of the objects that make up a licensed program. When using this command to delete the Domino® software, you can choose to delete the entire product or specific options of the product.
      - Display Domino® Console (DSPDOMCSL)
        The Display Domino® Console command provides a way to view the status and jobs of a Domino server. When using this command, you can not submit Domino subcommands to the Domino server.
      - Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC)
        The Display Software Resources command allows you to view, print, or write to an output file the list of installed software resources. This command is useful when verifying which software versions are already installed on your system. When you enter this command, you will see a display that lists the product ID, option, feature code, and a text description of each item.
      - End Domino® Server (ENDDOMSVR)
        The End Domino® Server command allows you to stop a Domino server that is running. You can choose to either stop all (*ALL) Domino servers on your system, or you can stop a specific Domino server.
      - Run Domino® Command (RUNDOMCMD)
        The Run Domino® Command (RUNDOMCMD) runs a CL command in the context of a particular Domino server.
      - Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM)
        The Restore Licensed Program command provides a way to load a licensed program whether you are installing for the first time, updating to a new release of a product, or recovering from a lost or damaged state.
      - Submit Domino® Command (SBMDOMCMD)
        The Submit Domino® Command provides a way to submit Domino server commands to run on a Domino server on your system.
      - Set Domino® Environment (SETDOMENV)
        The Set Domino® Environment command sets the operating system job environment to the context of a particular Domino server.
      - Start Domino® Server (STRDOMSVR)
        The Start Domino® Server command allows you to start a Domino server. You can choose to start all (*ALL) Domino servers on your system, or a specific Domino server. In addition, you can choose whether or not you want to activate the Java™ Server Controller when you start your Domino server.
      - Update Domino® Server (UPDDOMSVR)
        The Update Domino Server command allows you to update specific Domino® servers to newer releases.
      - Work with Domino® Console (WRKDOMCSL)
        The Work with Domino® Console command provides a way to submit Domino server commands to a specific Domino server.
      - Work with Domino® Servers (WRKDOMSVR)
        The Work with Domino® Servers command provides a way to manipulate certain aspects of the Domino servers on your system.
      - Work with Subsystems (WRKSBS)
        The Work with Subsystems (WRKSBS) command allows you to end a subsystem, display the subsystem description, and work with subsystem jobs.
      - Typical administrative tasks and their equivalent Domino® commands
        The following table lists typical administrative tasks for a Domino® server (called DOMSERV1) and shows the CL command that you can use to perform the task.
      - Using CL Commands With Domino® for IBM® i
        You can use command line commands to manage your Domino® environment on IBM® i.
  - Managing users
    The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
  - Monitoring servers
    This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
