BizzStream Aero DX Tools

The BizzStream Aero DX Tools allow consultants to fetch an environment's scripts, save them to their local disk, and manage them with version control similar to Git. This ensures that all scripts can be properly versioned and tracked.

DX-Tools Interface

The tool is available at https://tools.metacomplatform.com/.

Usage

When you install and run DX Tools, the first screen you’ll encounter is the Environment Selection Screen, as shown below.

DX Tools Note

  • Single Instance: Only one instance of the tool can run at a time. Closing the main window minimizes it to the system tray, where its icon remains active.
  • Server Selection: Start by selecting one of the available servers:
    • Test
    • Acceptance
    • Production
