Set the type of workload to run. A timed workload with suppressed output is strongly recommended as a test workload will print considerable output to the command prompt.

hammerdb>diset tpcc mssqls_driver timed
Clearing Script, reload script to activate new setting
Script cleared
Changed tpcc:mssqls_driver from test to timed for MSSQLServer

Configure workload settings, in this example the rampup and duration times are set.

hammerdb>diset tpcc mssqls_rampup 1
Changed tpcc:mssqls_rampup from 2 to 1 for MSSQLServer

hammerdb>diset tpcc mssqls_duration 3
Changed tpcc:mssqls_duration from 5 to 3 for MSSQLServer

Confirm the settings with the print dict command.

When all the settings have been chosen load the driver script with the loadscript command.

hammerdb>loadscript
Script loaded, Type "print script" to view

The loaded script can be viewed with the print script command. Note that the driver script is exactly the same as the driver script observed in the GUI. There is no difference whatsoever in what is run in the CLI compared to the GUI. If there is a wish to change the script a modified version can be loaded with the customscript command and it is therefore recommended to use the GUI to save a version of the script to modify.
