1. How to Run DMADMIN in batch mode?
Here is a simple example of running dmadmin in batch mode.
Create a text file containing the dmadmin commands you want to execute.
Here is a listing of a file called "input.dat" that will create a simple project list:
proj
lt
2
outout.dat
exit
Then run dmadmin as follows:
D:\working>d:\ideas8\bin\dmadmin -b input.dat
[everything below is what gets echoed to the window after the command is entered]
At this point you will have a file in your working directory called "outout.dat" that
contains a project list.
