You start and stop the Operational Analyst (OA) processes using either the Administration Client or OA command line utility. Which tool is used by these utilities to accomplish the task?

Lena V.Mar 26, 2026

The correct answer is B, MOM. Both the Administration Client and the OA command line utility are front-end interfaces that delegate the actual process control work to MOM (the Manager of Managers), which is the underlying tool responsible for starting and stopping OA processes. The other options are distractors from different parts of the system, MIG handles data migration tasks, TART is unrelated to process management, and DADS serves a different function entirely. On the exam, when you see a question about what sits beneath those two control interfaces and does the real heavy lifting for OA process management, MOM is always the answer.

Thought TART at first, but MOM is the actual process control tool underneath both utilities.

Good news, our group landed on B, MOM (the Manager of Managers), as the underlying tool both the Admin Client and the OA command line utility delegate to when starting and stopping OA processes. Can anyone speak to why the exam specifically calls out both utilities separately if they both just call MOM anyway, is there a scenario where one of them has limitations the other does not?

Took the 132-S-715.1 last spring and that MOM question caught me for a second because I kept thinking about the dial plan utilities I use daily, but once you remember that the Management Object Model is the backbone those two front ends both sit on top of, B locks in fast. The Administration Client and the OA CLI are just different faces calling the same MOM layer underneath, and knowing that saved me from second-guessing myself into a wrong answer.
