exportdefcal

The exportdefcal utility exports calendar definitions in the Control-M/EM database to an output file for use as input to other utilities. To export calendar definition using the exportdefcal utility, see Exporting calendar definitions using exportdefcal utility.

When the exportdefcal utility is invoked, an arguments file that you prepare is processed. This arguments file contains statements that specify an existing calendar or group of calendars. The calendars that you specified in the arguments file are exported to an output file. You can modify the exported calendars in the output file and re-import them into the Control-M/EM database using the defcal utility. For more information, see exportdefcal arguments file rules.

Output files from export utilities (such as exportdefcal) can be used as input files with the import utilities (such as defcal).

exportdefcal reads arguments directly from a plain text arguments file (in XML format) instead of reading them from the command line.

NOTE: The exportdefcal utility only exports Control-M level Rule-Based Calendars. To export Folder level Rule-Based Calendars, use the exportdeffolder utility (as TAGs were previously exported).
