Hey sapan,
You can use IdcCommand to execute services from the command line. The process is as follows:
1. Create a text file with the services calls you want to make, the definitions are in hda format:
@Properties LocalData
IdcService=UPDATE_DOCINFO
dID=1
dDocName=000001
dDocType=MyType
dSecurityGroup=Public
dRevLabel=1
dDocAuthor=sysadmin
dDocTitle=My Title
@end
<<EOD>>
(Note: for multiple entries in the file <<EOD>> is very important)
2. Execute IdcCommand from the <content server install>/bin directory:
IdcCommand -f image_update.hda -u sysadmin -l c:\idccommand.log
Options:
-f = file with service definitions
-u = user to run as
-l (lowercase L) = location for log of execution
More detailed documentation can be found in the Idc Command Reference (idc_command_reference_10en.pdf).
