Configuring command line operations 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.

Follow the steps below to create a commander config file :

  1. Run SDB Explorer as usual.
  2. Select domain and right click.
  3. Choose Export domain option from pop up list.
  4. Give location where you want to export the content of domain using SDB Commander
  5. There are two options available to export SimpleDB data in XML format.
  • Export all items in a single XML :

Select this option to export and save all the items of domain in a single XML.
  • Export all items in multiple XML :

Select this option to export and save desired number of items per XML.

Example
:
Suppose you have 100 items in your domain and Export them using items per XML 30 then it creates 4 XMLs from which initial 3 XML contains 30 items each and 4th XML contains 10 remaining items.
  1. On bottom left corner, there is a " Create Export Config " button to add export configuration.

The configuration file will be saved as ExportCofig.xml in config folder. You can also edit this configuration file directly and SDBCommander will export accordingly.
