7.2. Performing Administrative Tasks with the RSM Utilities Application

Sometimes it is more convenient to work with RSM manually, rather than via the user interface. The RSM Utilities application enables you to conveniently perform a number of administration and configuration tasks via the command line.

For Windows, you can start the RSM Utilities application by opening a command prompt in the [RSMInstall]\bin directory and running rsm.exe.

For Linux, you can start the RSM Utilities application by running the rsmutils shell script, located in the [RSMInstall]/Config/tools/linux directory.


Note:  The Linux shell scripts are dependent on their relative location in the Ansys Workbench installation, so cannot be moved.


The commands shown below can be used on both Windows and Linux:

Usage: rsm.exe xmlrpc|config|appsettings|creds|migration [operator] [options] [arguments]
   Where:
      xmlrpc {operator} [options]: XmlRpc configuration commands.
      config {operator} [options]: Configuration related commands.
      appsettings {operator} [options] [arguments]: Appsetting related commands.
      creds {operator} [arguments]: Credentials related commands.
      migration {operator} [arguments]: Migrate from previous version (e.g. v180).
