Hi all Running aradmin.exe /? Pops a usage string dialog - The options are listed in the Advanced Guide for 6.3
aradmin -u <user_name> [-p <password>] -x <server_name> [-w <external_authentication_string>] [-portnum <TCP_port_number>] [-e <file_name>] [-i <file_name>] [-convert [-<option> -f <form_name>]] [-c <file_name>] [-s][-o [<log_file_name>]] You'll need aradmin -u <user_name> [-p <password>] -x <server_name> [-portnum <portnum>] -e exported.def -l packinglist.xml >From the document itself:- To parse an XML packing list, and export all objects defined in that packing list, use the following command format: aradmin -u <user_name> [-p <password>] -x <server_name> -e <target_filename> -l <packing_list.xml> Note: You cannot export server objects that include a percent sign (%) in their name.

I've done it here and seen it done other places. I think you have to go to the directory that the AR Server is installed on = and there should be a .exe there that you have to run from a command prompt (but I'm not 100% on that statement above) Exact parameters...don't remember... It's been awhile since I've done this (2 years) You could always write an API program to do it though too. I do know that the API commands to export code can be found in the API refe= rence guide. Sorry Joe I can't be more help on how to do it, I can just tell you that I = know it can be done. HTH Matt P. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] T.ORG] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 9:34 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Command line usage of aradmin.exe to export 'specific' filters... ** Hello listers, I would like to know if anyone has used the aradmin.exe to export from the = command line a list of filters that I have queried for and save the definit= ion file in an XML format. The aim of my operation is to edit this def file for all filters that conta= in set fields actions from a SQL Command. Its not very easy to do it if I s= ave the filters in a .def definition file format as I will then need to con= sider the altered length of the SQL Command and they are over 600 filters s= o that would be a pain. An XML file is free of that format as we do not need to consider length of = the statement. I have already designed an sql query that pulls the right set of filters th= at I need to alter ignoring filters that contain queries to the meta tables= and filters that contain $fieldid$ in its statements, so all I need to kno= w is if it is possible to use aradmin.exe from the command line to export t= his set of filters to an XML definition file.
