Overview of command line interface for Model Explorer functions (Model Explorer)
You can perform the following Model Explorer functions through the ScfUtils command line interface:
• Bookmarking databases.
• Starting and stopping databases.
• Listing all available databases.
• Backing up and restoring databases.
• Optimizing databases.
• Creating and deleting databases.
• Listing database users.
• Clearing locks.
• Adding server logins.
• Adding database principals.
• Synchronizing Active Directory group changes.
• Transferring access permissions.
• Exporting and importing Models.
• Creating and deleting Models.
• Cloning and versioning Models.
• Protecting and unprotecting Models.
• Branching, rebasing and reconciling Models.
• Getting and setting the model comment.
If a ScfUtils command succeeds, 0 is returned; If a ScfUtils command fails, 1 is returned.
If you run ScfUtils with a -h parameter, a summary of the ScfUtils commands is listed.
Important In each case, the <server>, <database> and <model> names are case sensitive.
If you have installed Modeler to the default locations, ScfUtils resides in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC Integrity Modeler\Modeler\Exe\SCFUtils.exe
In addition, you can difference Models and Packages through the ModelDifferencer.exe command, create replicas through the createreplica command, and find and optionally delete orphaned items through the findorphans command.
