You can manage multiple installations of supported Software AG products from Command Central. You can use Command Central to install products and fixes; create and configure product instances; and start, stop and monitor runtime components. You can also create new environments and clone existing installations using templates.

Install one Command Central to manage all of your development and test environments, and one Command Central to manage all of your production environments. Install Command Central by itself on a machine that does not host other Software AG products, but that can access all the machines in the environment that do host the Software AG products you want to manage. Restrict access to the machine to only those people who need to use Command Central (for example, release managers, infrastructure engineers, system administrators, and operators).

Install the latest release of Command Central to manage installations of supported Software AG products that are release 9.0 or later.

Platform Manager is an agent that enables Command Central users to remotely administer products that can be managed by Command Central. When you install products that can be managed by Command Central using Software AG Installer, Platform Manager is automatically installed with the products. However, you can instead install Platform Manager on target machines and then install products remotely using Command Central. For UNIX systems, you can install Platform Manager remotely from Command Central. For Windows systems, Command Central provides a simple shell command you can use install Platform Manager.
