Using the Deployment Control File

Using the Deployment Control File

A deployment control file is an XML file that you use with the DeployFolder and DeployDeploymentGroup
pmrep
 commands to deploy a folder or deployment group. You can create a deployment control file manually to provide parameters for deployment, or you can create a deployment control file with the Copy Wizard.
If you create the deployment control file manually, it must conform to the depcntl.dtd file that is installed with the PowerCenter Client. You include the location of the depcntl.dtd file in the deployment control file.
You can specify a deployment timeout in the deployment control file. The deployment timeout is the period of time that
pmrep
 waits to acquire object locks in the target repository. By default,
pmrep
 waits indefinitely until it acquires locks or you cancel the deployment. To cancel a deployment while
pmrep
 is waiting to acquire locks, press Ctrl+C.
You must create the deployment control file manually to use some deployment parameters such as DEPLOYTIMEOUT.
The following is a sample of the depcntl.dtd file:
