exportdefjob

The exportdefjob utility exports job processing definitions from a folder in the Control-M/EM database to an output file. To export jobs using the utility, see Exporting a job from a folder using the exportdefjob utility.

When exportdefjob is invoked, it processes a specified file of arguments in XML format. This file contains statements that identify existing job processing definitions. The identified definitions are exported from the Control-M/EM database to an output file. You can modify the exported job processing definitions in the output file and can import the modified definitions into the Control-M/EM database using either the defjob or updatedef utility. For more information, see exportdefjob arguments file rules.

The exportdefjob utility validates the XML rules folder according to the validation process in Control-M/EM version 9.0.19 and above. By adding the switch -vv 2, the utility validates the jobs/folders, which is similar to job/folder validations in Control-M client/Control-M Web. It also validates site standards (includes warnings based on strictness levels), improved error messages descriptions, and updated field names.

NOTE: By default, the utility validates the XML file in accordance with the EmdefValidationVersion system parameter in the CCM (Validation version 2). You can change the value in the CCM without the need to add the switch to the command, which may be preferable if you have many scripts that use a particular validation version.

For an example of the two validation processes see emdef validation service error message example.
