How to run SDB Commander: A command line interface for Amazon SimpleDB

SDB Commander for Amazon SimpleDB is a command line tool for Amazon SimpleDB . SDB Commander needs a configuration file which can be created using SDB Explorer's UI. For SDB Commander to work it needs config folder and .Lic file. The config folder must contain ExportCofig.xml and SDBExplorer.xml . The Export details are picked from the ExportCofig.xml and authentication details are picked from SDBExplorer.xml.

If SDBCommander.exe runs on different machines then it will not be able to decrypt credentials so it will prompt to update credentials, now user will need to update credentials by giving Access Key and Secret Key .

SDB Commander for Amazon SimpleDB can perform two actions:

Export domain :

To export domain you need to provide export in action parameter. -action:export

If you have more than one credential saved in SDBExplorer.xml then you need to specify your nick name with action. -action:export -name:mynickname
