Copying an existing calendar using the copydefcal utility

This procedure describes how to create a new calendar definition in the Control-M/EM database identical to an existing calendar definition using the copydefcal utility.

To copy an existing calendar:

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. Enter either of the following commands:
   • emdef copydefcal [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -ARG_FILE <args file name>
   • emdef copydefcal [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -arg <args file name>

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

   For more details on the copydefcal parameters and options, see emdef general parameters and emdef switches.

   For information about the args file name, see copydefcal arguments file rules.

   The copydefcal arguments file is checked and processed. If there are any errors in the file, a message is displayed specifying the lines with the errors.
