The Database Manager is the administration tool for SAP DB database instances. You can use this tool to create and monitor database instances on local or remote hosts. You can back up the data of database instances and, if necessary, recover it.
The Database Manager can be called as a command line-oriented tool (Database Manager CLI), as a Web-based tool (Web DBM), or as a graphical user interface (Database Manager GUI). All three versions of this program offer the same functions.
The Database Manager CLI and the Web DBM can be installed on every operating system that is supported by the database system SAP DB. The Database Manager GUI runs on Microsoft Windows only.
