Command Line Options

There are commands for performing Admin Tool tasks on-demand or on a scheduled basis. In addition there are unique commands for working with repositories and REQ files.

The majority of the command-line functions use a single executable, ReqAdmin.exe, that accepts the command-line parameters to determine which function to perform. In other cases a different executable may be used; for example, generating dynamic document previews uses the BuildDocPreviews executable (BuildDocPreviews.exe). The complete list of commandline applications includes:
