Command Line Interface

The CA DMM command line interface lets you automate nearly all aspects of a migration using templates, command lines, batch processes, and Windows shortcuts. You can even integrate an automated migration into a wrapper application so that migration can take place as part of a larger process.

Using the command line, you can perform operating system functions, like moving, copying, and printing files, by entering commands after a prompt. For example, the following command copies the file memo.doc from the Windows folder on the C drive into the document folder on the A drive:

C:\WINDOWS> copy memo.doc a:\document

You can customize command lines using a variety of switches. For example, in CA DMM the switch /A is the Apply switch.
