Overview of the Server Admin Utility

Each instance of the SFX server contains an administrative tool called the Server Admin Utility that is used to perform various administrative tasks, such as system maintenance, diagnostics, creating indices, and running exports.

This tool is located at:

To start the Server Admin Utility:
