23Migrating Workflow Rules, Action Sets, and User Sets
Migrating Workflow Rules and Action Sets
This chapter describes how to migrate workflow rules, action sets, and user sets using the command-line interface of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client. It contains the following topics:
Workflow Rules
A workflow rule is an instruction to Oracle CRM On Demand to perform one or more actions automatically, each time a specified event occurs. The following table describes the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands that are used with workflow rules. The commands are case sensitive. For examples of running these commands, see Migrating Workflow Rules.
Table Oracle Migration Tool On Demand Commands for Workflow Rules
Command | Description |
---|---|
|
This command exports a set of workflow rules or a single workflow rule from an Oracle CRM On Demand server. At a minimum, you must specify a record type and a trigger event, or else specify a workflow rule name together with empty values for the record type, trigger event, and parent record type parameters. An empty value is specified as a set of double quotation marks (""). The parameters are as follows:
|
|
This command exports all workflow rules from an Oracle CRM On Demand server. |
|
This command updates or inserts a set of workflow rules on an Oracle CRM On Demand server.
Note: When you use the
Upsert command, you must include all of the definition for the workflow rule set in the XML file. Otherwise, some content might be unintentionally removed when you run the
Upsert command, because the
Upsert command deletes any existing workflow rules for which it does not find a match in the input XML file. For example, if the existing rule sets for a trigger event are not included in the XML file used for the
Upsert command, then these rule sets are deleted. For more information about considerations that apply to the
Upsert command, see
Considerations That Apply to Upsert Operations.

|
This command deletes the specified workflow rules from an Oracle CRM On Demand server. At a minimum, you must specify a record type and a trigger event, or else specify a workflow rule name together with empty values for the record type, trigger event, and parent record type parameters. An empty value is specified as a set of double quotation marks (""). The parameters are as follows:
|
|
This command updates a workflow rule if there is a matching workflow rule. If there is not a matching workflow rule, then the command inserts a new workflow rule.
Note: Unlike the
Upsert command, the
InsertOrUpdate command does not delete any existing workflow rule for which it does not find a match in the input XML file.
|
The output from the extraction is saved to the TriggerEvent.xml file as follows:
If the ParentRecordType parameter has an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType
If the ParentRecordType parameter does not have an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType/ParentRecordType
The directory structure is automatically created. The structure is based on the unique combination of the record type, and parent record type, if applicable, and the trigger event. The exported XML files do not contain any workflow rule set that is based on a different record type or trigger event.
Considerations That Apply to Upsert Operations
When you run the Upsert
command for workflow rules, the existing workflow rules are updated, new workflow rules are inserted, and rules that are not in the request are deleted. For the purposes of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, this is known as an Upsert operation.
The following considerations apply to Upsert operations for workflow rules:
The workflow rules are ordered as they appear in the input XML file.
You cannot upsert two workflow rules with the same order number.
If the workflow rule name does not match an existing workflow rule name, then a new workflow rule is created.
If the workflow rule name matches an existing workflow rule name, then the record type and trigger event cannot be modified.
The migration service protects data from becoming corrupted if the workflow rule is edited during loading, or loaded twice simultaneously, or extracted while it is being loaded.
The input file must contain only the workflow rules that are based on a unique combination of a record type and trigger event. For example, the input file can contain one or many workflow rules based on the Account record type and the When New Record Saved trigger event. The input file cannot contain another workflow rule with a different record type or trigger event.
The user running the
Upsert
command must have access to the object so that theUpsert
command completes successfully.
About Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Scheduled Events
A scheduled event is a workflow rule that is automatically executed when a specified date and time is reached. For more information about scheduled events, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.
When you insert a new scheduled event record in a target environment, Oracle CRM On Demand generates a pending instance for the first scheduled occurrence of the event, if the scheduled event is active (that is, the <Active> element on the scheduled event record is set to true). If the scheduled event is not active, then a pending instance is not generated.
When you update a scheduled event record in a target environment, the following happens:
Oracle CRM On Demand deletes any pending instance of the scheduled event in the target environment.
If the scheduled event is active, then Oracle CRM On Demand generates a new pending instance for the next scheduled occurrence of the event.
When you delete a scheduled event record in a target environment, Oracle CRM On Demand deletes any pending instance of the scheduled event in the target environment.
Language-Independent Codes for Trigger Events
The following table maps the workflow trigger events to the trigger event language-independent code (LIC).

Workflow Action Sets
A workflow action set is an ordered series of workflow actions of different types. The complete set of workflow actions is: CreateTask, Wait, SendEmail, CreateIntegrationEvent, FieldUpdate, AssignBook, SyncOwnerPartner, SyncBookPartner, SyncPartnerBooks, SubmitCall, and SubmitTransaction.
The SyncOwnerPartner, SyncBookPartner, and SyncPartnerBooks workflow actions are available only in Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management. For more information about these actions and how you can use them, see Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management Configuration Guide, available from the Oracle CRM On Demand documentation library.
For more information about workflow actions, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.
The following table describes the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands that are used with workflow actions and workflow action sets. The commands are case sensitive. For examples of running these commands, see Migrating Workflow Action Sets.
Table Oracle Migration Tool On Demand Commands for Workflow Action Sets
Command | Description |
---|---|
|
This command exports a set of workflow actions or a single workflow action for a specified workflow rule from an Oracle CRM On Demand server. The parameters are as follows:
|
|
This command exports all the actions for each workflow rule that is based on the specified record type and trigger event from an Oracle CRM On Demand server. |
|
This command updates or inserts a workflow action set on an Oracle CRM On Demand server.
Note: When you use the
Upsert command, you must include all of the definition for the workflow action set in the XML file. Otherwise, some content might be unintentionally removed when you run the
Upsert command, because the
Upsert command deletes any existing workflow actions for which it does not find a match in the input XML file. For example, if the existing actions for a trigger event are not part of the XML file used for the
Upsert command, then these actions are deleted.
|
|
This command updates a workflow action set if there is a matching workflow action set. If there is not a matching workflow action set, then the command inserts a new workflow action set.
Note: Unlike the
Upsert command, the
InsertOrUpdate command does not delete any existing workflow action for which it does not find a match in the input XML file.
|
Workflow User Sets
A workflow user set is a list of users on whose behalf the workflow actions of a scheduled event for the Analytics record type will be executed. This corresponds to the Execute As related information section in the Workflow Rule Detail page in the UI.
For more information about creating scheduled events for Analytics, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.
The following table describes the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands that are used with workflow user sets. The commands are case sensitive. For examples of running these commands, see Migrating Workflow User Sets.
Table Oracle Migration Tool On Demand Commands for Workflow User Sets
Command | Description |
---|---|
|
This command exports all the user sets for each workflow rule that is based on the Analytics record type and trigger event of ScheduledEvent from an Oracle CRM On Demand server.
|
|
This command inserts a new workflow user set. |
|
This command deletes a user from a workflow user set for a specified workflow rule. |

<EndDateTime> specifies the date and time after which no further instances of the scheduled event are to be executed. If the <NumOccurrence> and <EndDateTime> elements both contain a value when you update or insert a scheduled event, then only the value in the <EndDateTime> element is written to the scheduled event.
Note: If the scheduled event already exists and is active in the target environment, then <EndDateTime> is read-only.
|
<data:WorkflowRule> . . . <data:EndDateTime>07/10/2018 12:00:00 </data:EndDateTime> . . . </data:WorkflowRule> |
<RecurrenceType> corresponds to the Recurring field in the UI. It specifies the interval at which the scheduled event is to repeat. Valid values are Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly.
Note: If the scheduled event already exists and is active in the target environment, then <RecurrenceType> is read-only.
|
<data:WorkflowRule> . . . <data:RecurrenceType>Monthly </data:RecurrenceType> . . . </data:WorkflowRule> |
<RecurrencePeriod> corresponds to the Every field in the UI. It specifies the interval period for the recurring instances of the scheduled event. Only positive integers are valid and the minimum allowed value is 1.

Migrating Workflow Rules
The following topics provide examples of how to use the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client with workflow rules:
Extracting a Workflow Rule or a Workflow Rule Set
This topic describes how to extract a single workflow rule or a workflow rule set from your Oracle CRM On Demand server for your environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. The output from the extract is saved to the <TriggerEvent>.xml file in the following directory:
If the ParentRecordType parameter has an empty value, then the output from the extract is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType
If the ParentRecordType parameter does not have an empty value, then the output from the extract is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType/ParentRecordType
If the workflow rule set has multiple parent record types, then only the relative order changes.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to extract a workflow rule set:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowRuleSet RecordType TriggerEvent [ParentRecordType] [WorkflowName]
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
RecordType is the system name of the Oracle CRM On Demand record type (object) for the workflow rule. If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
TriggerEvent is the language-independent code (LIC) for the event type, see the table in Language-Independent Codes for Trigger Events.
ParentRecordType is the system name of the Oracle CRM On Demand parent record type (object). If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
WorkflowName is the name of the Oracle CRM On Demand rule. You can read an individual workflow rule by specifying a value for the <WorkflowName> parameter.
Example of Extracting a Single Workflow Rule
The following is an example of extracting a specific workflow rule:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowRuleSet "" "" "" MyWorkflowRule
Example of Extracting a Workflow Rule Set
The following is an example of extracting the entire sequence of workflow rules based on the Account record type and the Before Modified Record Saved trigger event:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowRuleSet Account PreWriteRecord
Extracting All Workflow Rule Sets
This topic describes how to extract all workflow rule sets from your Oracle CRM On Demand environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. The output from the extract is saved to the TriggerEvent.xml file in the following directory:
If the ParentRecordType parameter has an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType
If the ParentRecordType parameter does not have an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowRuleSet/RecordType/ParentRecordType
The number of records returned is not limited for the ReadAll
command. If the workflow rule set has multiple parent record types, then only the relative order changes. You must correct this error by using the workflow functionality of Oracle CRM On Demand.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to extract all workflow rule sets:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL ReadAll WorkflowRuleSet
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
Example of Extracting All Workflow Rule Sets
The following is an example of extracting all workflow rule sets from your Oracle CRM On Demand server:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL ReadAll WorkflowRuleSet
Updating or Inserting Workflow Rules (Upsert)
This topic describes how to use the Upsert
command to update workflow rules (if they exist) or insert workflow rules (if they do not exist) in your Oracle CRM On Demand environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. For the purposes of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, this is known as an Upsert operation.
About the Upsert Operation
When you run the Upsert
command, the existing workflow rules are updated, new workflow rules are inserted, and rules that are not in the request are deleted. The order of the rules in the workflow request must match the order of the rules for the workflow result in the Oracle CRM On Demand application. The changes following the Upsert operation are applied completely or not at all.
For more information about the considerations that apply to Upsert operations, see Considerations That Apply to Upsert Operations.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to update workflow rules (if they exist) or to insert new workflow rules (if they do not exist):
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Upsert WorkflowRuleSet WorkflowRulesXML
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
WorkflowRulesXML is the fully qualified path name of the workflow rules XML file, for example:
C:\My Files\My WorkflowRules.xml
Example of Updating or Inserting Workflow Rules
The following is an example of updating workflow rules (if they exist) or inserting workflow rules (if they do not exist) in your Oracle CRM On Demand server:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Upsert WorkflowRuleSet "C:\My Files\My WorkflowRules.xml"
Updating or Inserting Workflow Rules (InsertOrUpdate)
This topic describes how to use the InsertOrUpdate
command to update workflow rules (if they exist) or insert workflow rules (if they do not exist) in your Oracle CRM On Demand environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. For the purposes of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, this is known as an InsertOrUpdate operation.
About the InsertOrUpdate Operation
The InsertOrUpdate
command updates workflow rules based on the following user keys:
<RecordType> and <TriggerEvent> and <Order>
<WorkflowName>
If Oracle CRM On Demand locates a workflow rule based on the user keys, then the workflow rule is updated.
If Oracle CRM On Demand cannot locate any workflow rule based on the user keys, then a new workflow rule is created.
Unlike the Upsert operation, the InsertOrUpdate operation does not delete any existing workflow rules that are not identified in the input XML file.
The changes following the InsertOrUpdate operation are applied completely or not at all.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to update workflow rules (if they exist) and insert new workflow rules (if they do not exist):
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL InsertOrUpdate WorkflowRuleSet WorkflowRulesXML
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
WorkflowRulesXML is the fully qualified path name of the workflow rules XML file, for example:
C:\My Files\My WorkflowRules.xml
Deleting a Workflow Rule Set
This topic describes how to delete a workflow rule set based on the specified record type and trigger event. The set of workflow rules is deleted from your Oracle CRM On Demand server for your environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to delete a workflow rule set:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Delete WorkflowRuleSet RecordType TriggerEvent [ParentRecordType] [WorkflowName]
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
RecordType is the system name of the Oracle CRM On Demand record type (object) for the workflow rule. If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
TriggerEvent is the language-independent code (LIC) for the event type, see Language-Independent Codes for Trigger Events.
ParentRecordType is the system name of the Oracle CRM On Demand parent record type (object). If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
WorkflowName is the name of the Oracle CRM On Demand workflow rule. You can delete an individual workflow rule by specifying a value for the WorkflowName parameter.
Example of Deleting a Workflow Rule Set
The following is an example of deleting the entire sequence of workflow rules based on the Account record type and the Before Modified Record Saved trigger event:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Delete WorkflowRuleSet Account PreWriteRecord
Migrating Workflow Action Sets

Extracting a Workflow Action or a Workflow Action Set
This topic describes how to extract a single workflow action or a single workflow action set from your Oracle CRM On Demand server for your environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. The output from the extract is saved to a file and directory as follows:
.../repository/WorkflowActionSet/WorkflowRuleName.xml
Authenticated users can extract a specific workflow action or workflow action set. The Read operation can read any existing action set even if the authenticated user does not have access to the object or trigger event for the specified workflow.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to extract a specific workflow action or workflow action set:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowActionSet WorkflowRuleName [WorkflowActionName] [ActiveFlag]
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
WorkflowRuleName is the name of a workflow rule. If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
WorkflowActionName is the name of a workflow action. If the string contains spaces, then it must be enclosed with quotation marks.
ActiveFlag is an optional argument that you can use to filter the workflow actions that are exported, based on the value of the Active check box on the workflow actions. The valid values are true (the Active check box is selected) and false (the Active check box is not selected.
Example of Extracting a Single Workflow Action
The following is an example of extracting a specific workflow action:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowActionSet MyWorkflowRule MyWorkflowAction
Example of Extracting a Single Workflow Action Set
The following is an example of extracting the action set for a specific workflow rule:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowActionSet MyWorkflowRule
Example of Extracting Active Workflow Actions in a Single Workflow Action Set
The following is an example of extracting only the workflow actions that are active in a specific workflow rule:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Read WorkflowActionSet MyWorkflowRule "" true
Extracting Workflow Action Sets That Are Related to a Workflow Rule Set
This topic describes how to extract all action sets that are related to a rule set from your Oracle CRM On Demand server for your environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment.
One WorkflowActionSet.xml file is extracted for each action set identified by the input record type, trigger event, and parent record type. The output for each action set matches the data that is extracted if a specific Read operation is used to retrieve the action set.
The output WorkflowActionSet.xml file is saved to the following directory:
If the ParentRecordType parameter has an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowActionSet/RecordType/TriggerEvent.xml
If the ParentRecordType parameter does not have an empty value, then the output is saved to the following directory:
.../repository/WorkflowActionSet/RecordType/ParentRecordType /TriggerEvent.xml
Authenticated users can extract a specific workflow action set. The Read operation can read any existing action set even if the authenticated user does not have access to the object or trigger event for the specified workflow.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to extract workflow action sets that are related to a workflow rule set:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL ReadForRuleSet WorkflowActionSet RecordType TriggerEvent [ParentRecordType]
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.

Example of Extracting Workflow Action Sets That Are Related to a Workflow Rule Set
The following is an example of extracting workflow action sets that are related to a workflow rule set, when a new Account record is saved:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL ReadForRuleSet WorkflowActionSet Account WriteRecordNew
Updating or Inserting a Workflow Action Set (Upsert)
This topic describes how to use the Upsert
command to update a workflow action set (if it exists) or insert a workflow action set (if it does not exist) in your Oracle CRM On Demand environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. For the purposes of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, this is known as an Upsert operation.
Running an Upsert operation on a workflow action set is a synchronization operation. At the end of the operation, the workflow action set matches the action set in the XML file, where possible. Existing workflow actions are updated, new actions are inserted, and actions that are not in the request are deleted. The order of the actions in the workflow request matches the order of the actions in the action set XML file. The updates to workflow action sets in an Upsert operation are applied completely or not at all.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to update a specific workflow action set (if it exists) or to insert the workflow action set (if it does not exist):
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Upsert WorkflowActionSet WorkflowActionSetXML
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
WorkflowActionSetXML is the fully qualified path name of the workflow action set XML file, for example:
C:\My Files\My WorkflowActionSet.xml
Example of Updating or Inserting a Workflow Action Set
The following is an example of updating a workflow action set (if it exists) or inserting a workflow action set (if it does not exist) in your Oracle CRM On Demand server:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL Upsert WorkflowActionSet "C:\My Files\My WorkflowActionSet.xml"
Updating or Inserting Workflow Actions (InsertOrUpdate)
This topic describes how to use the InsertOrUpdate
command to update workflow actions (if they exist) and insert workflow actions (if they do not exist) on your Oracle CRM On Demand environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. For the purposes of the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client, this is known as an InsertOrUpdate operation. Unlike the Upsert operation, the InsertOrUpdate operation does not delete any existing workflow actions that are not included in the input XML file.
The InsertOrUpdate
command updates workflow actions based on the following user keys:
<WorkflowName>
<Order>
If you want to update an existing action on a workflow rule, then all of the following conditions must be met:
The workflow rule named in the input XML file must exist.
The value in the <Order> element of the workflow action in the input XML file must match the order number of the existing action within the workflow rule in the Oracle CRM On Demand application.
The action type of the workflow action in the input XML file must be the same as the action type of the existing workflow action in the Oracle CRM On Demand application.
Note: You cannot use an InsertOrUpdate operation to change the action type of an existing workflow action.
About the InsertOrUpdate Operation
When you run the InsertOrUpdate
command, the following happens:
If Oracle CRM On Demand locates a matching workflow action based on the user keys, then the workflow action is updated.
If Oracle CRM On Demand locates the workflow rule based on the <WorkflowName> user key, but cannot locate a matching workflow action based on the <Order> user key, then a new workflow action is created on the specified workflow rule. The next unused order number for actions on the workflow rule is assigned to the new action. For example, if there are already two actions on the workflow rule, then the new action is assigned order number 3.
If Oracle CRM On Demand locates the workflow rule based on the <WorkflowName> user key, and locates a matching workflow action based on the <Order> user key, but the action type of the action in the input XML file is different from the action type of the corresponding action in Oracle CRM On Demand, then the action is not updated.
Existing workflow actions that are not included in the XML request are not affected. The InsertOrUpdate operation does not delete any existing workflow actions that are not included in the input XML file.
The changes following the InsertOrUpdate operation are applied completely or not at all.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to update workflow actions (if they exist) and to insert workflow actions (if they do not exist):
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL InsertOrUpdate WorkflowActionSet WorkflowActionSetXML
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
WorkflowActionSetXML is the fully qualified path name of the workflow action set XML file, for example:
C:\My Files\My WorkflowActionSet.xml
Example of Updating or Inserting Workflow Actions

Migrating Workflow User Sets
The following topics provide examples of how to use the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client with workflow user sets:
Extracting Workflow User Sets
This topic describes how to extract the workflow user sets from your Oracle CRM On Demand server for your environment; that is, a customer test environment or production environment. The output from the extract is saved to a directory as follows:
.../repository/WorkflowUserSet/WorkflowRuleName.xml
Authenticated users can extract workflow user sets. The ReadForRuleSet operation can read any existing user set even if the authenticated user does not have access to the Analytics object or ScheduledEvent trigger event for the specified workflow.
Syntax
The following is the syntax for using the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client to extract workflow user sets:
migrationtool -u UserID -s ServerURL ReadForRuleSet WorkflowUserSet RecordType TriggerEvent [ParentRecordType]
where:
UserID is the user sign-in ID that has the appropriate privileges to run the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands.
ServerURL is the URL for the Oracle CRM On Demand server where your company resides.
RecordType is Analytics.
TriggerEvent is ScheduledEvent the language-independent code (LIC) for the event type of scheduled event, see Language-Independent Codes for Trigger Events.
