exportpromotionrule arguments file rules

The following rules apply to the exportpromotionrule arguments file:

• More than one promotion rule can be specified in an exportpromotionrule file.
• The arguments file is case-sensitive.
• All parameter values must be enclosed in quotation marks (for example, JOBNAME="Job1").
• More than one PARAM parameter can be used in a TERM statement.
• The relationship between PARAM parameters in a TERM statement is AND.
• The exportpromotionrule arguments file is checked and processed. If there are any errors, a message is displayed specifying the lines with the errors. The exported promotion rules are saved to the output file that is specified in the -out<file name> parameter.

For more information about the exportpromotionrule argument parameters, see exportpromotionrule arguments file parameters.

The exportpromotionrule 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.
