DRE administration tool

The DRE administration tool performs the indexing and administration tasks required by the DRE. The DRE must be running before you use the administration tool.

This tool is supplied with both Windows and UNIX, but you must run the executable from a Windows machine. If your Sybase installation is on UNIX, copy the $SYBASE/PortalSearch/Engine/<Windows directory> subdirectory from UNIX to Windows.
