Commands for Configuration Deployment Tool (CDT) actions

The command-line interface (CLI) provides commands for various Configuration Deployment Tool (CDT) actions. For example, as a Systems Integrator, you can import or export data from a source database to a target database. As the information differs across the two databases, you can use the CDT tool to work with this data to transform, replace, or filter data. Then, you can use the import or export commands to export the data to other locations.
