Using the Command-line Interface

CA Configuration Automation includes a command-line interface (CLI) that enables you to incorporate server- and service-related operations into scripts and other administrative processes within your infrastructure.

The CLI is installed automatically when you install a CA Configuration Automation Agent, but you can also install the CLI on any server for integration into existing scripts and processes. Follow the installation instructions provided in the CA Configuration Automation Implementation Guide to ensure access to these commands.

The CLI runs on all CA Configuration Automation Agent-supported platforms. See the CA Configuration Automation Release Notes for platform and version support details.

Note: Before using the CLI, you must successfully log into the CA Configuration Automation UI at least once to verify user authentication.
