text: **3.3 Content Manager OnDemand XML Batch Administration**
  
  In addition to the Administrator Client that runs under Windows, Content Manager OnDemand 
  provides an administrative program that uses Extensible Markup Language (XML). The XML 
  Batch Administration program (XML batch program) is run on the Content Manager 
  OnDemand server and provides the same functionality as the Administrator Client. 
  
  The difference between the two programs is that for the Administrator Client, the user must 
  provide input through the graphical user interface (GUI) as opposed to the XML batch 
  program, which receives input through the XML interface.
