General structure and function-specific structure

The command line programs (*.bat) for managing and configuring the PPM system located in the bin directory of the PPM installation have a four-level structure:

1. Determining and checking PPM environment variables

2. Composing an parameter character string of all transferred command line parameters

3. Creating a local class path

4. Running the Java Virtual Machine with specification of the class path and the parameter character string, and calling a command line program-specific class in the VM

PPM-specific batch files

CTK-specific batch files

Client-specific batch files

The batch files (both Windows and Unix) are also referenced in CTK in the Client -> Programs module.

The batch files execute complex functions (ACC start, infrastructure start/stop, client start/stop, CTK, PPM GUI, etc.) in the following directories.

Under Windows, shortcuts for these batch files are created in the Start menu.
