Software AG Command Central is a tool that release managers, infrastructure engineers, system administrators, and operators can use to perform administrative tasks from a single location. Command Central can assist with the following configuration, management, and monitoring tasks:
Infrastructure engineers can see at a glance which products and fixes are installed, where they are installed, and compare installations to find discrepancies.
System administrators can configure environments by using a single web user interface or command-line tool. Maintenance involves minimum effort and risk.
Release managers can prepare and deploy changes to multiple servers using command-line scripting for simpler, safer lifecycle management.
Operators can monitor server status and health, as well as start and stop servers from a single location. They can also configure alerts to be sent to them in case of unplanned outages.
