Important note

When using SVAdm via the command prompt or PowerShell, you must be logged in with either the Workflow Administrator account or an account that has the same access to databases as the Workflow Administrator account.

If you can not log in as this account, use SHIFT+right-click on the CMD or PowerShell program, and then select Run as a different user to enter alternate credentials (i.e. the username/password for the Workflow Administrator or an equivalent account).

Running the SVAdm tool from a command line

Back to top
  1. Log on to the Workflow server
  2. From the Start menu, open a command prompt using "Run as Administrator"
  3. Navigate to \Program Files\ShareVis\bin
  4. Enter svadm -o with the following syntax: svadm.exe -o <operation> -<parameter> <value>

For example: svadm -o removelogging -clear

Note: Some SVAdm operations require that you perform an IISRESET following the SVAdm operation. This is noted where it is required.
