Details:

hi. i have a problem with the command line client.

dmcli -version

Serena ChangeMan Dimensions CLI Client 9.1.3.17

i am not able to make the loading of external script work:

i'm launching with this command:

dmcli -user xxx -pass xxx -host xxx -dbname xxx -dsn xxx -file filename.txt

trying with both the full path of the file both with the relative path but my command, that i'm sure it's correct because i checked it in the interactive console. i'm able to make the flag -cmd work, but i need to load script files.

is it correct that i don't have any log output?

as soon as i execute with -file i receive this output:

Serena ChangeMan Dimensions 9.1.3   at 13:22:28 Thursday 03 July 2008
Copyright (c) 1998-2005 Merant International Limited. All rights reserved.

and then the control returns instantly to the cmd.exe but nothing starts on the server.

could you suggest what to change to make it work? or could you provide a test that should not fail?

thanks
