Exporting XML scripts

The following procedure shows the typical steps that an administrator or application developer will do to export XML scripts.

Procedure

  1. Export the information from the control database into am XML script file using the XML Scripting tool executable dsyadminxml.bat. For example, from the Server/Bin directory, type: 
     dsyadminxml.bat -x mycurrentsettings.xml
    where mycurrentsettings.xml is the name of your XML script file and - x is the command line parameter that tells the XML scripting tool to create the XML script file and populate it with information from the control database. See Invoking the XML Scripting tool from the command line for a complete list of command line parameters. If the process that you want to automate has not already been performed in the Mobile Devices Administrator, you must perform it before you export the Mobile Devices Administrator information into an XML script file.
  2. Edit the XML script file to manipulate the synchronization objects that you choose.

    The metadata information in your XML script file will contain several processes that might be in excess of what you need. To identify the processes that you want don't want, refer to the XML Scripting tool DTD.
