defcal XML file rules

The calendars that you create for use with the defcal utility are written in XML format and saved in a text file. When this file is invoked, its contents are passed to the Control-M/EM database.

Instructions for creating an XML format input file are in XML file rules.

The following rules apply to the defcal utility input file:

• More than one calendar can be specified in a defcal file.
• The XML file is case-sensitive.
• The definition for a single calendar can cover a period of one or more years.
• All parameter values (such as strings or digits) must be enclosed in quotation marks (for example, JOBNAME="Job1").

For more information on the input file parameters for the defcal utility, see defcal XML file parameters and defcal XML file examples.
