Chapter 4 Activating event-driven data exchanges 79
Creating a request using the eiexfer utility
Table 4-3 lists the AR System parameters you must use with the eiexfer utility.
Table 4-4 lists the Data Exchange parameters you can use when using the
eiexfer
utility.
Table 4-3: AR System parameters
Parameter Description
-x <arserver_name> Specifies the name of the AR System server where the
Application Pending form resides.
-rpcport
<port_number>
Specifies the port of the AR System server (for example, -
rpcport 4500).
-l <login_name> Specifies the AR System server login name for connecting to
the AR System server.
-p <password> Specifies the password associated with the AR System server
login name.
Table 4-4: Data Exchange parameters
Parameter Description
-s
<data_exchange_name>
Specifies the data exchange to use. The data exchange
name is the value you typed in the Data Exchange
Name field on the Main tab of the EIE:DataExchange
form. This parameter is mandatory if you want to
specify individual records for exchange rather than
invoking a bulk transfer.
-k <key_value> Specifies the key value of the record you want to
transfer. For every key value that you enter, you must
have a corresponding entry on the Primary key
Mapping tab of the EIE:ARMappingInfo form. You
must enter multiple key values if multiple key fields
are defined on the Primary Key Mapping tab.
Note: If you want a space to be recognized as a space, add
single quotation marks around the value. For example, to
enter the last name Van Arc as a single value, enclose it in
quotation marks: -k ‘Van Arc’ Vicki.
-r <request_id>
Specifies the AR System request ID of the record you
want to transfer. You can use this parameter to request
a record only if your data exchange
already contains a
data mapping for the form to which this record is
transferred.
Note: The -r parameter is not supported for data exchanges
between an external data store and BMC Atrium classes.
Note: You can specify one or more request IDs (for example:
-r 0000001472 -r 0000003742).
