Problem:

Environment with multiple Documentum installations, different versions, repositories with same names in different versions, etc. Cannot install software in your local machine.

Some solutions:

1. One big dfc.properties / dmcl.ini with every docbroker: dmcl.ini has a limit of docbrokers (and in my experience, dfc.properties does weird things with a big number of them)
2. Generate dynamically dfc.properties/dmcl.ini: “Much” coding for “nothing”
3. Multiple dfc.properties/dmcl.ini with different names, renaming accordingly before launching dqMan/DQLTester: Not a big fan of dfc.properties, dfc{dev}.properties, etc and then moving the files around.

Another solution:

With a folder structure such as:

Launcher:

• launcher.bat
• properties
  • env1
    • dev
      • dfc.properties
      • dmcl.ini
    • prod
      • dfc.properties
      • dmcl.ini
  • env2
    • dev
      • dfc.properties
      • dmcl.ini
    • prod
      • dfc.properties
      • dmcl.ini
• etc.

Launcher.bat:

@Echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS

SET dqmanfolder=<path to dqman folder>
SET dqltesterfolder=<path to dqltester folder>
SET folderbase=dfcproperties

echo ****************
echo 1. env1 dev
echo 2. env2 prod
