Export a Procedure Library Using Command Line Options

Use the swutil EXPORTLIB command line options to quickly export a procedure library. By setting the required command line options, you can define the required export options and suppress the prompts/questions.

To export a procedure library:

1. Use the following command:

swutil EXPORTLIB pathname [directory] [options]

where:

— pathname is the full path name of the library you want to export (as displayed in Procedure Manager.) Use / to import the library to the root of Procedure Manager.
— directory is the directory to export the procedure.

If this is unspecified, the procedure library is exported as a .xfr file to the SWDIR\util directory by default.

— options can be one or more of the options described to suppress or change a specific option:

2. The procedure library is exported as a .xfr file in the SWDIR\util directory by default or the directory specified in the command.

Example

To export the /Dept/Purchasing library where you do not want any prompts to display but you need to set OEM lock for every procedure in the library, you would enter the following command:

swutil EXPORTLIB /dept/purchasing -acemprstvx +l
