The updatedef utility updates specified parameter values in the following definitions in the Control‑M/EM database:
The selected jobs, folders, SMART Folders and Sub Folders are modified according to specifications in the updatedef arguments file. For more information, see updatedef XML file rules.
NOTE: updatedef modifies the characteristics of existing job processing definitions, but does not create new jobs or folders. duplicatedefjob creates new job processing definitions based on existing job processing definitions from the data center and folders.
To update parameter values using the updatedef utility, see Updating parameter values using the updatedef utility.
The updatedef 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.
