Legacy DXP Console commands

As of February 2024, the CLI version 0.39.0 is officially deprecated and will no longer receive active support for Datastore. While existing installations will continue to function, no new installations or updates will be supported using this version.

To ensure continued support and access to the latest features, we recommend upgrading to the next CLI version. Detailed CLI instructions can be found in the Datastore DXP-Next CLI section.

The following sections list and describe the base CLI commands available for all Squiz DXP products.
