- Run the following script from command line:
cmdmgr -n "<Project Source Name>" -u <Login> -p "<Password>" -f "<the location of the script file>" -or "<output file name>.txt"
Take Tutorial Project for example, the script can be:
cmdmgr -n "MicroStrategy Analytics Modules" -u administrator -p "" -f "C:Program Files (x86)MicroStrategyCommand managerlist_project_configuration.scp" -or "result.txt"
- If the Administrator is running the above script, the result file would be created at location “C:UsersAdministrator”;
