To Upgrade Using the Command Line to Export Projects and Environments

Before You Begin

You can export a Project, an Environment, or a Project and an Environment using a command-line script. Before beginning the process of exporting Projects and Environments from prior releases of Java CAPS 5.1.0–5.1.3 or ICAN Suite 5.0.5, it is recommended that you acquaint yourself with the steps to complete the task in the appropriate eGate Integrator User's Guide.

Location of Script File

JavaCAPS_install_dir\repository\util\exportProject.bat

or

JavaCAPS_install_dir/repository/util/exportProject.sh

Command Syntax

exportProject username password branch_name export_file project_name environment_name

where:

• branch_name is the name of the Repository branch to contain the Project and/or Environment you are exporting.

• export_file is the name and path for the archive file to contain the Project and/or Environment you are exporting.

• project_name is the name of the Project you are exporting. You can export multiple Projects by listing them one after another, separated by a plus sign (+). If you do not export a Project, leave this parameter as an empty string ("").

• environment_name is the name of the Environment you are exporting. You can export multiple Environments by listing them one after another, separated by a plus sign (+). If you do not export an Environment, leave this parameter as an empty string ("").

  Note –

  The project_name and environment_name variables assume that the objects reside in the same repository directory as the script file you are using.

  ---

  ---

  Caution –

  Project names should not include special characters such as a comma ( , ), single quote ( '), or double quote ( " ). If any of these characters are used, you must escape them when using the exportProject command-line tool.
