Command-line tools: General usage reference

You can use several command-line tools to configure the indexing and searching behavior of IBM® Content Search Services servers. These tools are installed as part of the server installation. The scripts for these tools are in the server-home/bin directory, where server-home is the root directory for the installed server.

You can run a tool without any command-line parameters to display the usage for the tool.

Synonym tool usage
