Hello Ingo You can simply build your own startupshell to do this: {unifaceinstalldir}\\common\\bin\\uniface.exe /adm={unifaceinstalldir}\\uniface\\adm /asn=.\\test.asn /bat UDEBATCHSTYLE ?

In case you add the irtl.dll to the [USER_3GL] section then $ude should also work with the runtime (uniface.exe). Hope this helps. Daniel

  But Daniel ... This is against all rules and unsupported :-) Ingo

istiller said Hi We are ordered to implement thinks like Github. So to export of "things" (e.g. nightly) out of the repostitory into some XML-Files I will write some batch files to start UNIFACE.EXE with "/cpy" . But, as we all know, a component does not only is located in UFORM but in a few more tables. So I have to export at least four time to got the whole component (UFORM,UXGROUP,UXFIELD,UXREGS) UnifAce proc-code on the other side will provide us with $UDE("export","component",...) So, why not have this capabilities with the command line /ude export component And of cource: /ude import compoent Which will first delete/cleanup any old component (with the name of that your are about to import) Ingo  

This is exactly why we wrote UD6 'Uniface Repository Database' for version control, like 18 years go. Your components - including all the source for the component is stored in the text file .\\sources\\components.dir\\component-name.xml - in a format that is not the same as the Uniface XML format, but is 'human readable' and good for merging and storing in version control (including Git). And that file is your database, not a 'copy' of it, so you can be 100% sure it is correct. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOU3ChOqnEM&t=37s
