ManageEngine AppCreator server commands
Below are the commands you’ll need to start and shutdown the ManageEngine AppCreator server, and backup and restore its database.
Server commands for Linux
You’ll first have to navigate to the installed_folder/AppCreator/bin/ via terminal.
- To start the server: sh app_ctl.sh run
- To shut down the server: sh app_ctl.sh shutdown
- To back up the database: sh backupDB.sh -p password
- You can protect the backup with a password. If you don't set one, the password is automatically set with the file name in reverse (without the extension). For example, if the name is OfflineBackup_20200703171838.ezip then its default password will be 83817130700202_pukcaBenilffO.
- The database backup will be saved in the SERVER_HOME/Backup folder. Its extension will be ezip.
- You can back up the database only when the server is offline.
- To restore a backup: sh restoreDB.sh filename_with_path -p password, for example,
sh restoreDB.sh ../Backup/OfflineBackup_20200703171838.ezip -p 83817130700202_pukcaBenilffO
- The password is mandatory when you're restoring a backup.
- The backup taken in a version cannot be restored in another version.
- If the restore fails, please contact appcreator-support@manageengine.com
