# Command-line reference

The SeaLights ABAP Agent has a command-line interface program which allows you to configure the agent, define the resources you'll need to connect to SAP and your test environment, and run analyses that show you the impact of your SAP changes. The command-line interface program is named `slabapcli.exe`, and it's installed to the ABAP Agent's `bin` directory.

You can run `slabapcli.exe` from a Command Prompt or PowerShell window, each run with administrator permissions. Each command has the following format:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command Prompt" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```batch
slabapcli.exe <resource> <command> [args]
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PowerShell" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
.\slabapcli.exe <resource> <command> [args]
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**TODO (from v1.5 draft):** The source document spelled the program as `slababap.exe` / `slabap.exe` in this section. Corrected to `slabapcli.exe` to match the rest of the reference — please confirm.
{% endhint %}

## Command-line help

To get help for the command-line interface program, run the following:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command Prompt" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```batch
slabapcli.exe --help
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PowerShell" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
.\slabapcli.exe --help
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

You can run `slabapcli.exe <resource> help` to display the help for a specific resource:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command Prompt" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```batch
slabapcli.exe settings help
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PowerShell" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
.\slabapcli.exe settings help
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sealights.io/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-1.5/command-line-reference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
