Product and Library Utilities
The utilities listed on the Products > Utilities and Libraries > Utilities allow you to perform administrative actions at a product and library level. The same set of utilities appears on both Products > Utilities and Libraries > Utilities. The difference is the context from which each utility is launched:
Clicking a link from Products > Utilities launches the utility within the context of the current product.
Clicking a link from Libraries > Utilities launches the utility within the context of the current library.
The utilities are grouped according to whether they are system administration utilities or business administration utilities.
