Invoking the Command Line Tool in a Local Client Configuration

In a local configuration, you work directly on the configuration file with the command line tool, using the –d configuration_file option:

oacla [-nologo] [-i <script file>] [-o <output file>] [-e <error file>] [ -d configuration_file | -l | -r <host:port> ]   
[ -uid <user id> -pwd <password>] [-m <message file>] [-h <help file>] [command]

Example A: Connecting to OpenAccess SDK**

This example opens the configuration file of the OpenAccess SDK Local Client for ODBC and IP SDK. The administrator can now enter any OpenAccess SDK Manager command described in OpenAccess SDK Manager Commands.

C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\oaodbclocal90\admin>oacla -d ..\cfg\oadm.ini
