Advantage Management Utility

Advantage Database Server

The Advantage Management Utility is a 32-bit end-user database management utility that provides access to Advantage Database Server management information. Using this utility, networked client PCs can access management information on servers running the Advantage Database Server. The Advantage Management Utility brings the convenience of watching Advantage Database Server activity information to your client machine. This aids in development, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring which, in turn, increases productivity.
