Exporting folders using the exportdeffolder utility

This procedure describes how to export folder definitions in the Control-M/EM database to an output file for use as input to other utilities using the exportdeffolder utility.

To export folders:

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 one of the following commands:
   • emdef exportdeffolder [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -ARG_FILE <args file name> -OUT_FILE <File Name> [-vv 1]
   • emdef exportdeffolder [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -arg <args file name> -out <File name> [-vv 1]

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