When you start a task, you can optionally enter the directory and name of a parameter file. The Integration Service runs the task using the parameters in the file you specify.
For UNIX shell users, enclose the parameter file name in single quotes:
-paramfile '$PMRootDir/myfile.txt'
For Windows command prompt users, the parameter file name cannot have beginning or trailing spaces. If the name includes spaces, enclose the file name in double quotes:
-paramfile "$PMRootDir\my file.txt"
When you write a
pmcmd
command that includes 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.
pmcmd starttask -sv MyIntService -d MyDomain -uv USERNAME -pv PASSWORD ‑f east -w wSalesAvg -paramfile '\$PMRootDir/myfile.txt' taskA
