dtscli Command—Use Transfer Aliases

Keeping track of all your transfer IDs is not easy. We remember names a lot better than we do numbers. DTSCLI supports name aliases, which means that you can use the transfer or transfer job’s label to refer to it rather than the number.

Example: Create and Activate a Job Using Aliases

This example uses labels for both the transfer and transfer job.

To create and activate a job using name aliases

1. Create a transfer using an alias and defer activation:

   dtscli -transfer "ipath=Gold::c:\dtstemp\file.src" 
   

   "rpath=Silver::c:\dtstemp\file.dest" 
   iuser=dts::dts 
   ruser=dts::dts
   label=WATER
   -mode defer
   

   The transfer is created. Notice the label.

2. Create a transfer job using an alias:

   dtscli -job method=create label=FIRE
   

   The transfer job is created. Notice the label.

3. Add the transfer to the transfer job:

   dtscli -job id=FIRE method=add method_parameters=WATER
   

4. Activate the transfer:

   dtscli -job method=activate id=FIRE
   

Using the ADT Transfer Client, if installed, you can view the new transfer and transfer job that you have created and activated. However, you cannot view the labels.
