Accessing and running command-line utilities

The command-line utilities are located in the Build Forge installation directory, which is <bfinstall> on Windows and <bfinstall>/Platform on UNIX and Linux.

You must properly configure your environment (or the system-level environment) for engine-level shell commands to work. For example, on Oracle and UNIX, ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, must be manually set, or the utilities will not run.

When you use command-line utilities such as bfexport or bfimport, the command needs to be able to find the buildforge.conf file to access the database, so you must run the command either from your installation directory, or set the environment variable BF_CONFIG_FILE to the full path of the buildforge.conf file.
