In order to start administering and monitoring your Universal Messaging Realm servers you need to launch the Universal Messaging enterprise manager. The enterprise manager is capable of connecting to multiple Universal Messaging realms at the same time, whether these are part of a cluster / federated namespace or simple stand alone realms. A configuration file called realms.cfg is created in your home directory which stores the enterprise manager's connection info, however the very first time you launch it a bootstrap RNAME environment variable can be used to override the default connection information. Subsequent launches will not depend on the environment variable as long as you save your connection information (see Realm Profiles).

Launching on win32 platforms can be done by clicking on the Enterprise Manager shortcut in the start menu, or by opening a client command prompt and typing:

Launching on Unix platforms can be done by executing the nenterprisemgr executable, which you can find under the installation directory at the following location:

java/umserver/bin/nenterprisemgr
