Server instance manager command-line options (Windows)
The instmgr.exe utility is a command-line version of the Server Instance Manager that extends the ability to configure the HCL OneDB™ database server instance with command-line options.
You must have administrative privileges on the database server. However, local administrator privileges are sufficient, even if the database server was installed for domain use.
The following
