Options for running system operations

You can run system operations using two alternative approaches—scripts that utilize the Deployment Template, or your own scripts provisioned in the EAC Admin Console of the Endeca Workbench.

This guide assumes that you use the Deployment Template as a primary means of running operational tasks in your Endeca implementation, and provides basic information about the EAC.

Method	Description
Customized scripts within the Deployment Template environment	The sample scripts provided with the Deployment Template control the Endeca operational tasks through the EAC. You can use these scripts, or create custom scripts based on them. The scripts typically run such processes as routine baseline and partial updates. You can also add specific scripts that run before the Dgraph is stopped or after it is started.
Your own Java scripts within the Endeca Workbench environment	You can create your own operational scripts for running baseline and partial updates, and for other purposes, and provision them in the Endeca Workbench for running from there. Your scripts should communicate with the EAC Central Server which controls the processes on each of your servers. If you would like to use your own custom Java scripts that directly communicate with the EAC and need more information on how to write them, see the EAC Guide.
