Exporting an RPR file via a command line

The ASConvText utility can be accessed via a command line, using specific parameters. Note that the ASConvText.exe resides in C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMC AppSight\AppSight for Windows\Bin.

The syntax of the command is:

ASConvText<from-file>[<to-file>][-p<path>]

Where:

from file - the input RPR or BCT file to convert

to file - the output file

path - path for module/pdb

ASConvText converts from a text (BCT) file to an RPR file or vice versa depending on the arguments' sequence. The first argument is the source file and the second is the target.

The "to file" parameter is optional. If no file name is given, the generated file will have the same name and path as the "from file", with a different file extension (.BCT for a text file or .RPR for an RPR file).

If the filename or path include spaces, the entire path should be placed within quotation marks.

For example:

ASConvText " C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMC AppSight\AppSight for Windows\Data\RPR\myrpr.rpr"

ASConvText "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMC AppSight\AppSight for Windows\Data\RPR\mybct.bct"

Any errors in editing, for example errors in the file name line, will produce error messages in a log file.
