To use the command line to access the DAC server

  where method name is one of the following:

  Method Name	Description
  StartETL	Starts an execution plan. You must specify an execution plan name.
  StopETL	Stops the operation of an execution plan. You must specify an execution plan name.
  ETLStatus	If you do not specify an execution plan name, the status of the execution plan that last ran is returned. If you specify an execution plan name, the status of the specified execution plan is returned.
  DatabaseStatus	Verifies whether the DAC server can connect to all active database connections. You do not need to specify an execution plan name.
