Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1            

vwtool

The vwtool utility is a command line-driven system support and administration program you can use to analyze and modify various components of a workflow system.

The vwtool utility can run on any client of a Content Platform Engine server. In a farmed workflow system where multiple servers can host client requests for load balancing, a vwtool client request can be directed to any server in the farm. To support vwtool commands that manipulate the memory state of a particular server in a server farm, these vwtool commands display information for all servers or prompt for a server name.

Because request and response actions are serial across a network instead of within a process, response speed and timeouts are affected.

In a workflow system, vwtool accesses an isolated region at a time. Although most of the vwtool information that is returned is specific for an isolated region, some vwtool commands return local server-specific information.

Attention: The vwtool utility is a powerful tool that requires careful and informed use. Misuse of vwtool can lead to work item corruption, compromised data integrity, or loss of data.
