You can create a persistent input file using the
pmrep
ExecuteQuery, Validate, or ListObjectDependencies commands. These commands create files that contain a list of objects with encoded IDs and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. It also contains an encrypted repository GID. This ID identifies which repository the record comes from.
The
pmrep
commands that use a persistent input file get object information from the encoded IDs. The encoded IDs enable
pmrep
to process the input file quickly.
When you create a persistent input file with
pmrep
, it creates the file in the
pmrep
installation directory. You can specify a different path.
The following text shows a sample persistent input file:
