Running Commands in Command Line Mode

Running Commands in Command Line Mode

Command line mode invokes and exits
pmcmd
each time you issue a command. Command line mode is useful if you want to run
pmcmd
 commands through batch files, scripts, or other programs.
Use
pmcmd
 commands with operating system scheduling tools like
cron,
or you can embed
pmcmd
 commands into shell or Perl scripts.
When you run
pmcmd
 in command line mode, you enter connection information such as domain name, Integration Service name, user name and password in each command. For example, to start the workflow “wf_SalesAvg” in folder “SalesEast,” use the following syntax: 
pmcmd startworkflow -sv MyIntService -d MyDomain -u seller3 -p jackson ‑f SalesEast wf_SalesAvg
The user, seller3, with the password “jackson” sends the request to start the workflow.
If you omit or incorrectly enter one of the required options, the command fails, and
pmcmd
 returns a non-zero return code. For more information about all the return codes, see pmcmd Return Codes.
To run pmcmd commands in command line mode:
  1. At the command prompt, switch to the directory where the
    pmcmd
     executable is located.
    By default, the PowerCenter installer installs
    pmcmd
     in the \server\bin directory.
  2. Enter
    pmcmd
    followed by the command name and its required options and arguments: 
    pmcmd 
    command_name
     [-option1] 
    argument_1
     [-option2] 
    argument_2
    ...
