With the Management Console Command Line Interface (abbreviated to MC-CLI in the following), BeanConnect provides a set of Jython functions which allow you to start BeanConnect Management Console functions from a Jython script. It makes sense to use the MC-CLI, for example, whenever large volumes of data have to be configured or frequently recurring administration tasks have to be performed (see also Application scenarios (examples) ).
Figure 58: Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Management Console graphical user interface (GUI)
You can process the same configuration sequentially with both the BeanConnect Management Console GUI and with MC-CLI scripts. In both cases, the configuration is represented by one and the same configuration file named console.properties.xml. It is not possible to configure and administer multiple Management Console settings simultaneously (both via the GUI and using MC-CLI).
