CSS Tools - Restore - Error - Failed to load main class com.castsoftware.cssadmin.cli.BackupSchema

Purpose

If we use the CSSRestore.exe/CSSBackup.exe from another folder rather than the installation folder it would give the error :  Failed to load main class com.castsoftware.cssadmin.cli.BackupSchema

Applicable in CAST Version

ReleaseYes/No
8.3.x

Applicable RDBMS

RDBMSYes/No
CSS

Action Plan

When using the CSSRestore.exe/CSSBackup.exe from any other folder we need to

  1. Add the option -exedir to specify the directory path of the cast installation folder.

-exedir is used when you want to run CSSBackup.exe from outside the CAST installation folder: It allows you to specify the path to the CAST installation folder.

For Example : -exedir “c:\Program Files (x86)\CAST\7.3”
