Command File Format

When you import a command file containing machine details, each record in the file must conform to the format required by the wizard. Each user record must begin on a new line with a variable that defines the type of operation. The supported formats are listed below.

Command Syntax

• Create a new gateway

  newgateway,<gateway>,<parent server>
  

  Where <gateway> is the name of the new gateway and <parent server> is its parent server, either the CMS or another gateway.

• Create a new client machine

  newclient,<client name>,<parent server>
  

  Where <client name> is the name of the new client machine and <parent server> is its parent server, either the CMS or a gateway.

• Create a new utility

  newutility,<utility name>,<parent server>
  

  Where <utility> is the name of the new utility machine and <parent server> is its parent server, either the CMS or a gateway.

• Delete a machine

  This command deletes a specified machine. That is, a gateway, client, or utility machine:

  deletemachine,<machine name>
  

• Move existing client machine or gateway

  movemachine,<machine name>,<parent server>
  

  Where <machine name> is the name of an existing client or utility machine, or gateway and <parent server> is its new parent server, either the CMS or a gateway.

• Add comments

  These formats identify comments in a CSV file:

  # Your comment goes here
  // Your comment goes here
  REM Your comment goes here
  

  REM is not case-sensitive, so REM, rem or Rem are equally acceptable as comment markers.
