The duplicatedefjob utility makes a copy of an existing job definition in the same data center and SMART Folder. Elements of the copy can be changed. To copy jobs using the duplicatedefjob utility, see Copying existing jobs using the duplicatedefjob utility.
NOTE: Multiple jobs can be selected and copied using the * wildcard character. For an explanation of how wildcards function in XML-based utilities, see Wildcards.
When duplicatedefjob 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 copied, changes to the copy (if requested) are made, and the copy is stored in the Control-M/EM database. For more information, see duplicatedefjob XML file rules.
The duplicatedefjob 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.
