We found out an interesting bit of information yesterday about the command line uasge of the aradmin.exe command. On page 557 of the 6.3 Advanced book Remedy claims the following:
To parse an XML packing list, and export all the objects defined in that packing list, use the following command format: aradmin -u <user_name> [-p <password>] -x <server_name> -e <target_file> -l <packing_list.xml> Well, when we tried to use that command to dump out a packing list worth of stuff nothing seemed to happen. So I opened an Incident with BMC and come to find out that the XML packing list thing does not appear to work in any environment that they can find. I think this is kind of odd since I believe that this option has been available since at least 5.1.2. I might be wrong. So anyway, don't try to dump stuff out of your system via an XML packing list file (not that you wanted to anyway since I can't find any reference of anyone else in history having the same problem and posting about it on the interwebs). _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
