If applications are being loaded using the command line, the saved application load options in the local registry can be outputted to an XML Options File for use in the application load.
Refer to Creating and Loading Applications from the Command Line for details.
To create an XML Options file, you can use the RedCli.exe command line interface. Follow these steps to create an XML file:
- Open a command line window where redcli.exe is located, usually C:\Program Files\WhereScape\RED
- In this example, run the following command to create a file with all the options for PostgreSQL in the
c:\projectsfolder:redcli.exe deployment-options generate-file --file-name c:\past.xml --meta-repo-type Postgresql - Go the output folder and verify the file was created properly.
The following arguments are required for generating a file:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| --file-name <location> | The name of a file to write default deployment options data into |
| --meta-repo-type <repo type> | The type of metadata repository to tailor the options for. Either Oracle, SqlServer, Teradata, Db2 or Postgresql. |
You can also use the following optional arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| --meta-dsn <argument> | Logon DSN write into the XML file |
| --meta-dsn-arch <argument> | Logon DSN architecture to write into the XML file |
| --meta-database <argument> | Logon database name to write into the XML file |
| --meta-user-name <argument> | Logon user-name to write into the XML file |
| --meta-password <argument> | Logon password to write into the XML file |
Tip
