Usage Notes

Consider the following general points when using the CLI:

• Most ccautil commands require a -task argument, the CA Configuration Automation Server identification, and user name and password arguments.
• Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets [  ].
• The ccautil arguments can be ordered in any sequence.
• The CLI generates error messages when you use incorrect or incomplete syntax.
• If you specify argument text that contains special characters or embedded blanks, you must enclose the entry in quotation marks.

  For example, if the location of a password file is in the Program Files directory or the name of a service is San Francisco Datacenter, you need to enclose these entries in quotation marks (for example, "Program Files" and "San Francisco Datacenter").
