Using Parameter Files with startworkflow

Using Parameter Files with startworkflow

When you start a workflow, you can optionally enter the directory and name of a parameter file. The Integration Service runs the workflow using the parameters in the file you specify. For UNIX shell users, enclose the parameter file name in single quotes. For Windows command prompt users, the parameter file name cannot have beginning or trailing spaces. If the name includes spaces, enclose the file name in double quotes.
Use parameter files on the following machines:
  • Node running the Integration Service.
    When you use a parameter file located on the Integration Service machine, use the -paramfile option to indicate the location and name of the parameter file.
    On UNIX, use the following syntax:
    -paramfile '$PMRootDir/myfile.txt'
    On Windows, use the following syntax:
    -paramfile "$PMRootDir\my file.txt"
  • Local machine.
    When you use a parameter file located on the machine where
    pmcmd
    is invoked,
    pmcmd
    passes variables and values in the file to the Integration Service. When you list a local parameter file, specify the absolute path or relative path to the file. Use the -localparamfile or -lpf option to indicate the location and name of the local parameter file.
    On UNIX, use the following syntax:
    -lpf 'param_file.txt' -lpf 'c:\Informatica\parameterfiles\param file.txt' -localparamfile 'c:\Informatica\parameterfiles\param file.txt'
    On Windows, use the following syntax:
    -lpf param_file.txt -lpf "c:\Informatica\parameterfiles\param file.txt” -localparamfile param_file.txt
  • Shared network drives.
    When you use a parameter file located on another machine, use the backslash (\) with the dollar sign ($). This ensures that the machine where the variable is defined expands the process variable.
    -paramfile '\$PMRootDir/myfile.txt'
