loopdetecttool arguments file rules

The arguments file is processed. Corresponding definitions in the Control-M/EM database are checked. A summary that lists problematic definitions and conditions (loops) is produced in the output file whose name and location is specified in the out file name parameter.

The following rules apply to the loopdetecttool argument file:

• The arguments file is case-sensitive.
• More than one PARAM parameter can be used in a TERM statement.
• The relationship between PARAM parameters in a TERM statement is AND.
• The default relationship between TERM statements is OR.
• All parameter values must be enclosed in quotation marks (for example, JOBNAME="Job1").

The output file is in XML format and is structured as follows:

• All loops are listed between ctmem:loops tags.
• For each loop found, problematic jobs and conditions are listed.
