Importing jobs into existing folders using the defjob utility

This procedure describes how to import jobs into existing folders into Control-M/EM database by using the defjob utility.

To import jobs using the defjob utility:

1. Do one of the following:
   • UNIX: Log on to a Control-M/EM account.
   • 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.

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

2. Type one of the following commands:
   • emdef defjob [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -SRC_FILE <XML file name> [/a]
   • emdef defjob [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -src <XML file name> [/a]

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

   For more information about defjob parameters and switches, see emdef general parameters and emdef switches.

   For information about the XML file name, see defjob XML file rules.

   If there are any errors in the file, a message is displayed specifying the lines with the errors.
