- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.

Starting the Services

Explains how to start services using either the Control System, the CLI or the REST API.

About this task

You can start one or more services using the Control System or the CLI if the service is not disabled. If the service is disabled, you must enable the service first, in order to start the service. See Enabling and Disabling a Service Using the CLI and REST API for more information.
