Corticon provides Ant macros for the corticonManagement command line utilities in the file [CORTICON_HOME]\Server\lib\corticonAntMacros.xml . You can download and install Apache Ant, and then add its /lib to your global path and set its /bin to ANT_HOME.

Note: The Ant process needs to set the environment for CORTICON_HOME and CORTICON_WORK_DIR so that the macros can locate the necessary libraries and have the scratch location for temporary files. To do this, run C:\Progress\Corticon 7.x\Utilities\bin\corticon_env.bat before running Ant.
