The Command-Line Interface allows for listing of datastore contents and available components. The intended usage for this is to aid in hand-editing an analysis file, if this is desired. By using the -list arguments you can get the metadata of your datastore and the DataCleaner components that will allow you to manually compose an analysis file.

Listing the contents of a datastore is pretty self-explanatory, if you look at the output of the -usage command. Here's a few examples, using the example database 'orderdb':

			> datacleaner-console.exe -list datastores
			Datastores:
			-----------
			Country codes
			orderdb

			> datacleaner-console.exe -list tables -ds orderdb
			Tables:
			-------
			CUSTOMERS
			CUSTOMER_W_TER
			DEPARTMENT_MANAGERS
			DIM_TIME
			EMPLOYEES
			OFFICES
			ORDERDETAILS
			ORDERFACT
			ORDERS
			PAYMENTS
			PRODUCTS
			QUADRANT_ACTUALS
			TRIAL_BALANCE

			> datacleaner-console.exe -list columns -ds orderdb -table employees
			Columns:
			--------
			EMPLOYEENUMBER
			LASTNAME
			FIRSTNAME
			EXTENSION
			EMAIL
			OFFICECODE
			REPORTSTO
			JOBTITLE
		

Listing DataCleaner's components is done by setting the -list argument to one of the three component types: ANALYZER, TRANSFORMER or FILTER:
