Guidelines

Note the following guidelines for using CA XCOM Data Transport parameters:

When you type trailing spaces and tabs from the command prompt as part of a parameter value, they are stripped by the command prompt processor.
When you type trailing spaces and tabs into a file or script with an editor, using any editor that generates ASCII text, they are treated as part of a parameter value. In most cases these trailing spaces and tabs should be removed. If they are not removed, they can cause confusion and/or undesirable results.
Empty lines and lines beginning with a pound sign (#) are discarded.

Examples:

In the following examples, the spacespacespace represents trailing spaces.

If you type the following at the command prompt, the trailing spaces are ignored:

XCOM62 -c1 LOCAL_FILE=XYZspacespacespace

If you type the following into any configuration file using an editor, the spacespacespace would be treated as part of the name of the LOCAL_FILE:

LOCAL_FILE=XYZspacespacespace
