ShareAspace administration tool
The ShareAspace administration tool is a tool intended for a server administrator managing a ShareAspace installation.
In the initial release the tool supports management of all the ShareAspace collection settings.
Typical use cases:
- Administrate the collection settings of an existing installation. e.g. changing the request rate limit.
- Administrate the system paths of an existing installation. e.g. changing the file path to the storage and file vault folders.
- Reading and filter the ShareAspace system logs.
- When moving a system backup from one environment to another. e.g. When restoring a production backup on to a quality assurance environment.
Deployment
The ShareAspace administration tool is packaged and installed together with the ShareAspace service host using the Service host MSI (Host-1.8.0.xyz.msi). By default the tool can be found at C:\Program Files\Eurostep\ShareAspace\Host\sas.exe.
Command line interface (CLI)
The command line interface has a help system that provides full documentation on how to use the tool. Running the tool with the --help option will bring up the documentation. The help option can then be utilized for each command in the CLI.
PS C:\Program Files\Eurostep\ShareAspace\Host> .\sas.exe --help
Note
- That before being able to read, update, or create settings the ShareAspace service host must be turned off.
- That the ShareAspace Host must be turned off in order to use most of the tool functionality.
Tip
- Filtering the ShareAspace system logs is possible to do while the ShareAspace host is still running.
- By copying the log archive from a running ShareAspace instance it is possible to use the filtering tool on a separate installation.
