# Tcl Command-Line Administration tool Details

Before you use the Tcl Command-Line Administration tool application for administrative tasks, consider the following:

Knowledge requirements

Tcl Command-Line Administration tool is an extension of the Tcl 8.5 scripting language, and administrators will require basic knowledge of Tcl to use the command-line application.

For an introduction to Tcl, refer to [http://www.tcl.tk/about/language.html](http://www.tcl.tk/about/language.html). Other pages on that web site provide useful background information about Tcl and its capabilities. For a more comprehensive tutorial, refer to [http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html](http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html).

Data store connection

Tcl Command-Line Administration tool requires an administrative logon to establish a connection to the data store.

Configuration file

Tcl Command-Line Administration tool requires a configuration file (dpadmincmd.xml) to run correctly. This file can be created by the Tcl Command-Line Administration tool installation wizard or using a template (see [Tcl command-line configuration](/sec/docs/oas-ag-tcl-command-line-configuration-3-28)

International characters

The dpadmincmd command supports international characters, but your console window must be able to support the characters or they will not display correctly. The Lucida Console font is typically used.
