Use the prpcUtils tool if you have a direct connection to the database to manage system management actions even if you do not have an active instance of the Pega Platform.
If you need to run asynchronous operations, or do not have a direct connection to the database, use the prpcServiceUtils tool. For more information about the prpcServiceUtils tool, see Service-enabled system management command-line tool (prpcServiceUtils).
You can use the prpcUtils tool to perform the following actions:
Manage hotfixes
Manage indexing: Perform full-text indexing and remove index nodes
Manage agents
Scan for invalid rules
Upgrade Java syntax
Generate DDL
Upgrade application schemas
Configure the prpcUtils.bat or prpcUtils.sh script actions in the prpcUtils.properties file.
You can also pass arguments to the script to override settings in the prpcUtils.properties file.
Use the properties file to set property values for reuse to minimize errors in entering commands.
Use the script arguments to augment or override certain values in the property file, for example to customize one script action.
