Running the exportpromotion utility

This procedure describes how to run the exportpromotionrule utility, which enables you to export promotion rules that are defined in Control-M .

Before you begin

Create an arguments file, which contains the arguments that export the promotion rules from the Control-M/EM database. For more information, see exportpromotionrule arguments file rules.

To run the utility:

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.

     NOTE: For Windows client installations, open a command prompt window and navigate to the <EM Instance Name>\bin directory.

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