Database Reference
In-Depth Information
There are two more utilities that are only available with the Enterprise Edition:
•
<$NEO4J_HOME>/bin/neo4jArbiter
: The Arbiter instances are used to
take part in master elections with the single purpose of breaking ties in the elec-
tion process. It will be difficult to understand at this point, but as of now, let's just
Neo4j Deployment
.
•
<$NEO4J_HOME>/bin/backups
: This utility helps administrators/developers
in scheduling backups or performing manual backups of Neo4j database.
Note
Online backups can also be performed by enabling the
on-
line_backup_enabled
and
online_backup_server
properties.
Neo4j also provides a rich UI for interacting with the database and performing various
CRUD operations visually such as querying data, managing indexes, and so on. It is simil-
ar to the Neo4j shell, which is a command-line utility but does not provide a UI.
Neo4j provides two kinds of web interfaces:
•
Neo4j browser
: It is available at
http://<IP or Domain_name>:7474/
browser/
and is the primary
User Interface
(
UI
) of Neo4j that provides a rich
UI for visualizing the data in the form of graphs. It also facilitates in running your
Cypher queries in an interactive UI-based console and showing the results in
pretty graphs and tables.
•
Neo4j WebAdmin
: It is available at
http://<IP or Do-
main_Name>:7474/webadmin/
and is similar to the Neo4j browser but
comes with a classic UI and does not provide rich UI.
