This topic describes the arguments that you can pass to FileNet Deployment Manager, and provides some examples of how to pass these arguments to the application. The arguments cannot be used in combination with each other, except for --operation and --password.
The application operates within the context of a deployment tree. This tree is a folder structure that contains deployment configuration files. (See the --samples argument in the following table for a listing of these files.) For more information on trees, see About deployment trees.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
-h, --help | Displays help information for the command-line arguments. |
-v, --version | Displays version information for the FileNet Deployment Manager. |
-g, --gui | Starts the FileNet Deployment Manager with the graphical user interface (GUI) displayed. By using the interface, you can work with and define the deployment configuration as stored in the various deployment files, and execute the defined configuration. (To execute the configuration using the command-line, use the --operation argument.)
The GUI prompts you for a deployment tree location. For information on selecting a tree, see Create or select a deployment tree. For more information on the deployment GUI in general, see Work with the interface. |
-s, --samples | Creates a subfolder named Samples in the current folder with sample XML files. If the subfolder already exists, it must be empty in order for the sample XML files to be generated.
The sample files include the following types of files:
For more information on these files, see About deployment files. For information on the XML schema for the DeploymentOperation, data map, and half map files, see Deployment file formats. |
-o, --operation <file> | Performs the operation specified by the DeploymentOperation file (identified by <file>). The three main types of operations, along with the sample file for the operation type in question (generated by the --samples argument), are as follows:
For information on the XML schema of the DeploymentOperation file, see Deployment file formats. |
-p, --password <password> | Specifies the password to use in conjunction with the --operation argument when retrieving information from Content Engine for half map creation. This argument is needed when passwords are not persisted. (Password persistence is specified in the EnvironmentConfig file. For more information, see About passwords.) |
