DTR Command Line Tool 

The Design Time Repository (DTR) command line tool is mainly intended for DTR administrators, but it can also be used by developers who prefer command line interfaces to graphical user interfaces. The command line client uses HTTP to send commands to the DTR server.

Starting and Stopping the Command Line Client

You have to stop the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio before starting the DTR command client line client.

After installing the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, you can find the DTR command line client in this folder <NWDI installation folder>\eclipse\tools\dtr.

You can use the tool in two modes:

●      Shell mode

The tool provides its own command line for entering commands. The user executes any number of commands without exiting the tool. To start the tool in shell mode, use the dtrshell.bat file. When the tool is started, it opens its own command shell, where the user types his/her commands. To stop the command line client, type exit and choose Enter.

●      Command line mode

In the command line mode, the DTR command is specified in the operating system shell command line. The tool then starts up, executes the command and exits. To start the tool in command line mode, use dtr.bat from the same folder. The DTR command is, in this case, specified in the rest of the command line, for example: dtr.bat acts –o –U X. To stop the command line client, type exit and choose Enter.

In the command line mode, access takes longer than in shell mode, because of the required initialization.
