Job Export Utility

Deployment Solution
This section provides detailed information about command-line switches for specific
executables within Deployment Solution.
The Job Utility applications allow you to import, export, create and schedule jobs
from the command line. Each action is performed from separate binaries installed in the
Deployment Share file directory.
axExport.exe — Exports jobs from Deployment Server. See
(page 373).
axImport.exe — Imports jobs in to Deployment Server. See
(page 374).
axEvent.exe — Creates jobs in Deployment Server. See
axSched.exe — Schedules jobs in Deployment Server. See
(page 377).
axComp.exe — Imports computers to the Deployment Server from a DOS mode.
Axcomp allows you to import .csv and .txt files that are in a comma separated format.
ImportComputers55.txt in the Samples folder off of the eXpress share is an example of
the format needed. There are various command-line options available depending on
whether the user is in a Trusted or Non-Trusted account environment. See
Computer Utility (page 378).
Each utility connects to the Deployment Server Database to perform specific operations.
As a result, the appropriate ODBC and security rights are required. Each job utility
supports the /o /d /u /p switches.
The /o option (ODBC datasource) allows connectivity to the Deployment Server SQL
database using a different DSN. By default the standard Deployment Database DSN is
used. This is helpful when connecting to a second system from a common machine.
The /d /u /p options can be used if no DSN is set up for a particular server. However, the
SQL driver must be installed for any of these utilities to work. Each utility has the
switch to show the version of the utility and all command-line options.
This utility can be used to export jobs from the Deployment Database. It can be helpful
in copying jobs from one Deployment system to another, backing up jobs, creating
standard jobs during multiple installations, and other actions.
