You can check the function of the Database Manager CLI by executing a dbm command.
Creating the Database Manager CLI
...
1. Check whether you are actually accessing the software component you have just created, the Database Manager CLI ($OWN /usr/bin/dbmcli, Microsoft Windows: $OWN\usr\pgm\dbmcli.exe).
2. Enter the dbm command for displaying the Database Manager version:
dbmcli [-n <server_node>] -d <database_name> -u
<dbm_userid>,<dbm_password> dbm_version
dbmcli -d TST -u dbm,dbm dbm_version
For more information on the DBM commands, see the Database Manager CLI documentation.
