Syntax for AdminTool.exe command line script

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.

AdminTool.exe /command

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. Venkat Erik Eckhardt (translated from Czech, original here) @lex Kumar Kambam I’m intrigued to know how the original posters figured out the commands available, if it’s undocumented… :)
