The command line tool "inoadmin" offers functionality for performing low-level administrative operations on the CentraSite Registry Repository. The functionality provided by inoadmin includes:

The practical use of the tool is described in the scenarios documented in the preceding sections.

The tool is located in the directory <CentraSiteInstallDir>\bin. If you call inoadmin without parameters, you receive a summary of the command syntax and the available functions.

You can use environment variables to configure the inoadmin behavior:

Environment variable Purpose
INOADMIN_OUTPUT_TXT

Determines whether the inoadmin output is displayed as an XML document or as a formatted table.

If the value is null (i.e. if the value is not defined), the inoadmin output is displayed as an XML document. If any non-null value is specified, a formatted table is displayed.

INOADMIN_NO_MESSAGE_OUTPUT

Determines whether progress status messages are output while inoadmin calls are running.

If this variable is null (i.e. if the value is not defined), all progress status messages are output. If any other value is set for this variable, the progress status messages are suppressed and only the result is displayed.

INOADMIN_RUN_AS_JOB

Creates a job log that contains status information generated while inoadmin is running.

If you use inoadmin within a command script, you can use the return status to verify the successful completion of the command. A zero return status means that the command executed successfully, whereas a non-zero return status means that the command did not execute successfully.
