Running the forecastcli utility

This procedure describes how to run the forecastcli utility, which enables you to perform a Load Forecast operation in batch mode.

Before you begin

• To run the forecastcli utility, the Control-M/Forecast server must be up and running.

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.
2. Type the following command;

   forecastcli -u <user> [[-p <password>] | -pf <password_file>] -odate [YYYYMMDD|+n] [Filter] [-scenario <name>] [-run_time [Min|Avg|Max]] -job_info_file <file_name> [-service_info_file <file_name>] [/hide_times]

   For UNIX, add em and a space before specifying forecastcli. For example:
   em forecastcli -u emuser -p empass -odate 20090217 -job_info_file out.csv

For the Control-M parameter name, see Parameter name cross references. For more details on the forecastcli utility, see the following:
