updatedef

This utility has been deprecated. It is no longer enhanced and support will be discontinued in version 9.0.22. For more information, see emdef Utility Suite Deprecation.

The updatedef utility updates specified parameter values in the following definitions in the Control‑M/EM database:

  • Job processing definitions

  • Folder definitions

  • SMART folder definitions

  • Sub Folder definitions

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.

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.

For an example of the two validation processes see emdef Validation Service Error Message Example.

Updating Parameter Values Using the updatedef Utility

This procedure describes how to update specified parameter values in the Control‑M/EM database using the updatedef utility.

Begin

  1. Do one of the following:

    • UNIX: Log in to a Control-M/EMaccount.

    • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/EM is installed. You do not need to be in the Control-M/EM database directory.

      For Windows client installations, open a command prompt window and navigate to the <EM Instance Name>\bin directory

  2. Enter either of the following commands:

    • emdef updatedef [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -ARG_FILE <XML file name> [/a] [-vv 2]

    • emdef updatedef [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -arg <XML file name> [/a] [-vv 2]

      For Windows you do not need to use the emdef prefix.

For details about the updatedef parameters and switches, see emdef General Parameters and emdef Switches.

updatedef XML File Rules

The following rules apply to the updatedef arguments file:

  • Only one block of criteria can be specified for updating in each arguments file. This criteria block can update many jobs or folders.

  • Text in the arguments file is case-sensitive.

  • All parameter values must be enclosed in quotation marks (for example, JOBNAME="Job1").

Multiple values can be specified for TO and FROM by using the * wildcard character. For an explanation of how wildcards function in the XML-based utilities, see Wildcards.

For instructions about preparing this file, see XML File Rules.

Most parameters of the job, folder, SMART folder or Sub Folder definitions are optional. However:

  • If you specify a parameter, the FROM sub-parameter is mandatory, but the TO sub-parameter is optional.

  • When a FROM value is specified without a TO value, the FROM value is used as a filter criterion.

  • When a TO value is included, the new value parameter is set.

SMART folder parameters are usually modified using the SMART folder criteria described in updatedef XML file parameters for SMART folders. However, you cannot use these criteria to change the name of a SMART folder.

The folder name parameter of a job processing definition cannot be modified using the job definition criteria described in updatedef XML file parameters for jobs. However, you can use the updatedef utility to change the name of a SMART folder or folder by using the criteria for folders (described in updatedef XML File Parameters for Folders) and specifying a new value for the FOLDER_NAME parameter.

Three sets of parameters can be supplied in an arguments file – one each for folders, SMART folders, and jobs. Each set of parameters is described in:
