Where to Find the Command-Line Client-Server

The Workbench Log Browser command-line client-server feature is available in the following packages:

■	Workbench Log Browser Update Site Plug-in for the Workbench Appliance

■	Workbench Log Browser Native Eclipse IDE

Workbench Log Browser Update Site Plug-in for the Workbench Appliance

The command-line client and server are automatically installed when you download and install the Workbench Log Browser plug-in in the Workbench GUI (Help > Install New Software). When you install the update site, it installs the command-line only log browser server (vmwb-server) and the Log Browser command line client (vmwb-lbcli). The executables are automatically added to your path in the virtual machine.

Workbench Log Browser Native Eclipse IDE

The install packages for the native Eclipse version of the Log Browser, are self-contained platform-dependent ZIP files. Each platform specific package includes the command-line only log browser server (vmwb-server) and the log browser command-line client (vmwb-lbcli), and incudes a full working instance of a subset of the Workbench tools (including the Log Browser GUI) that can run on any machine.

The advantage of this package is that it can be used on any pre-existing host of your choosing. The packages are lightweight in the sense that they require no installation. Each package is a ready-to-use archive that you extract to your preferred directory.

To be able to launch the log browser server or command-line client from any shell, you must add them to the path.

Caution Log Browser requires 64-bit Java for Mac and Linux and either 32-bit or 64-bit Java for Windows. The JVM is no longer packaged with the toolsuite. Download and install either a 32-bit (for Windows only) or 64-bit JVM for your platform from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. If you are using the 32-bit Windows JVM, be sure to set JAVA_HOME and your PATH locally. If you set the JAVA_HOME variable globally, 64-bit-reliant packages will not find the correct JAVA package.

The following is a list of the available platform-dependent packages:
