Running an EIM Process Using the Command-Line Interface

You can also start the EIM server task through the command-line interface. For example, if you are using a UNIX operating system or if you have experienced the EIM server task being QUEUED when the job was submitted by the GUI, use the command-line interface to run an EIM process.

To run an EIM process using the command-line interface

1. Start the srvrmgr program in the command-line interface.

   For information on srvrmgr program, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

2. Execute a start task command or a run task command on the Enterprise Integration Mgr component. Be sure to specify the configuration file with the config parameter.

   NOTE:  You cannot use the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) in the Server Manager command-line interface when specifying the configuration file.

   If you do not specify a configuration file, the default.ifb configuration file will be used. If you put the .IFB file you want to use in a directory other than the default directory (<SiebSrvr\Admin> folder), you will need to specify the path to the .IFB file when you start the EIM component.

   The following example shows how to use the run task command to start an import process:

   run task for component eim with config=import.ifb

   For more information on the start task command and the run task command, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

   CAUTION:  EIM is a multistep process. When the EIM process is running, do not interrupt the task. Otherwise, some steps may not roll back correctly.

   The following example shows how to use the run task command to start an import process that uses a different LOV language than the default setting of the EIM LOV language parameter:

   run task for component eim with config=import.ifb, LovLang=DEU
