deffolder

The deffolder utility imports Folders and SMART Folders into the Control-M/EM database. To run the deffolder utility, see Running the deffolder utility.

When deffolder is invoked, a file of arguments that you have created is processed. This input file contains statements that specify:

For more information, see deffolder XML file rules. The specified folders are imported into the Control-M/EM database.

If the folders do not exist in the Control-M/EM database, the utility creates them. If the folders do exist, a message is issued indicating that the folders already exist (unless the /o switch is specified, in which case the folders are overwritten – the /o switch is described below).

The deffolder utility reads folder and SMART Folder definitions directly from a plain text arguments file (in XML format) instead of reading them from the command line.

A single deffolder input file can contain specifications for both folders and SMART Folders.

NOTE: XML is comprised of elements and attributes. Each element can contain attributes and sub-elements. In the folder that follows, elements are bolded and attributes are italicized.
