BASE Manager : Command Prompt Tools : Introduction
 

Introduction

Command line tools allow you to perform functions in BASE Editor without having to launch the application.

Command line tools in the CARIS modules, such as BASE Editor and BASE Manager, are run from either the BASE Editor <version> Command Prompt found on the Start menu, or the command prompt utility launched from the Interactive toolbar. See Utilities for information on using utilities in the Interactive toolbar. When launched from the application, the command prompt uses the same environment as the currently running application, allowing it to run commands in any of the enabled modules.

When using command line tools, various syntax styles are available for entering a command and its parameters. The available styles include:

/parameter=value

/parameter value

-parameter="value"

--parameter "value"

All of these styles can be used with or without quotation marks (" "). Quotes are only mandatory if the value being entered for a parameter contains a space (for example, /s "D:\Folder Name\File Name").

Examples of each style are provided below. You can use whichever style you prefer from the list above.

bathydbchangepw /l=User1/Password1@Server1WS /p=NewPass1

bathydbchangepw /l User1/Password1@Server1WS /p NewPass1

bathydbchangepw -l="User1/Password1@Server1WS" -p="NewPass1"

bathydbchangepw --l "User1/Password1@Server1WS" --p "NewPass1"
