Some of the commands offer basic functions that are performed by the Design Studio, but allow them to be executed from the command line or within a command script without running the Design Studio applications. Other commands offer other related functions and are executed in the same way.

There are utility commands for the schema designer, map designer, and Integration Flow Designer (IFD) applications as well as for other related tasks.
