Use the command line mode

Use the command line to create, delete, and populate VTS tables. Open a command window from the folder that contains the vtscmd.js file (%ProgramFiles%\OpenText\VTS\web) and type a command with the following syntax: cmdHandler.exe <command> <parameter>. For example to access the help, type cmdHandler.exe help.

Note: In the VTS installation folder, sample command files are provided (%ProgramFiles%\OpenText\VTS\web\samples). One launches new instances and imports data (InitVTSInstances.bat) and the other stops all running instances (StopAllInstances.bat).

The following table describes the available commands:

Command Parameters Description Example
-cert
-key
  When requestClientCert=true in configure.json, specify the certificate and key for server verification. cmdHandler.exe start -port 2000 -name Employees -cert “clientCert.cer” -key “clientCert.key”
delete_data -port Delete all data stored in a VTS table cmdHandler.exe delete_data -port 2000
-domain
-username
-password
 

When authentication is set to NLTM/Basic in configure.json, use these commands to specify the credentials for NTLM/Basic authentication.

Note: -domain is required for NTLM.
