Bringing together in one place all of the script syntax that I’ve found so far for using with OBIEE’s AdminTool.exe /command

Details and examples on usage in the following blogs (where I compiled the commands from):

• Venkat
• Erik Eckhardt (translated from Czech, original here)
• @lex
• Kumar Kambam

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!

I would only recommend this for read-only purposes such as generating the metadata dictionary or consistency check.

* OpenOnline DSN [user [password]] - Opens the online repository. NB can’t edit properties without checking out objects first, and no way to do that from script.

There’s an undocumented feature in AdminTool.exe that you can use the /command switch with a text file containing scripted commands to make changes to an RPD file (or create a new one).

It’s undocumented and UNSUPPORTED so be careful using it.

Some good details in these blog posts, especially Erik’s which has a good list of syntax.

I’m intrigued to know how the original posters figured out the commands available, if it’s undocumented… :)
