Promoting Changes from the Command Line

Promoting Changes from the Command Line

To promote changes to a repository from the command line, use the
MetCommand
 utility that is included in the MDM Hub Resource Kit. A repository is also known as an Operational Reference Store (ORS).
Before you promote changes to a target repository, export the source repository to a change list XML file. Also, ensure that the Resource Kit is installed in the MDM Hub environment. Run the commands to promote changes to a repository from the command line.
  1. Edit the
    SiperianConnection.properties
     file in the following location: 
    <Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand/source/resources/properties
    Ensure that the application server connection property values match the application server configuration.
  2. From a command line, change to the
    MetCommand
     directory, which is in the following location: 
    <Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand
  3. To create a change list, run the following command: 
    metcommand -createChangeList 
-sourceXmlFilename "<Source repository change list XML file name>" 
-targetOrsId "<Target repository ID>" 
-outputFilename "<Change list XML file name>" 
-propertiesFilename "<Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand/source/resources/properties/SiperianConnection.properties"
    The process to create the change list compares the source repository change list with the target repository metadata and generates a change list for the target repository.
  4. To validate the change list, run the following command: 
    metcommand -validateChangeList 
-sourceXmlFilename "<Change list XML file name>" 
-targetOrsId "<Target repository ID>" 
-propertiesFilename "<Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand/source/resources/properties/SiperianConnection.properties"
  5. To apply the change list to the target repository, run the following command: 
    metcommand -applyChangeList 
-sourceXmlFilename "<Change list XML file name>" 
-targetOrsId "<Target repository ID>" 
-propertiesFilename "<Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand/source/resources/properties/SiperianConnection.properties"
  6. To validate the target repository metadata, run the following command: 
    metcommand -validateMetadata 
-targetOrsId "<Target repository ID>" 
-propertiesFilename "<Resource Kit installation directory>/samples/MetCommand/source/resources/properties/SiperianConnection.properties"
