Service-enabled system management command-line tool (prpcServiceUtils)

Service-enabled system management allows asynchronous workflows and faster operations for remote system management on multiple targets. You do not need a direct connection to the database to use the service-enabled system management tool.

Use an active instance of the Pega 7 Platform with a command-line script to configure a REST service to perform the following system management actions:

Properties files and command-line arguments

Configure the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script actions in the prpcServiceUtils.properties file. Use a connection.properties file to specify multiple target systems.

You can also pass arguments to the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script to override settings in the prpcServiceUtils.properties file.

Job status

All import, export, expose, and hotfix operations, and all asynchronous rollback operations return a JobID. Use that JobID to check the status of the operation.

Log files

The log files include information about whether a job was successful and include detailed information about job errors and warnings. By default, the log files are stored in the client file system temp directory:

For all operations except restore points and roll back, you can use the artifactDir parameter to save a log file to a different directory.

All operations except roll back automatically generate log files. To generate log files for rollback actions, see Rolling back to a restore point.
