Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to export .fdl from IBM Buildtime environment automatically without actually having to sign in physically and click on the menus.
In other words setting it up as a task in "Scheduled Tasks," is what I'm trying to accomplish here. I want my runtime and buildtime environments to be exported every night at a certain time.
It is rather easy to accomplish this with the runtime environment as we have scheduled it as a Task in Scheduled Tasks running a .bat file, however, I am not sure on how to accomplish this with the buildtime environment.
Any suggestions???
Thanks,Praveen

I recently came to know that there is a command line utility (thanks to John McDonald) that does import and export from the builtime.
Check these out:
fmcbcimp
fmcbcexp

The only bummer about these undocumented commands is that they will only run from a Windows environment. And of course they are undocumented which means they could be gone at any time.

Thanks everyone. I've tried the commands and they seem to be working. Is there however, a way in which I can export with a timestamp?
fmcbcimp
fmcbcexp
Since this is going to be a nightly thing, and we are going to be having a lot of these, having a timestamp would be very helpful.
Any ideas???
Thanks,Praveen

Perhaps I don't understand what you want.... But this is what is at the top of every export I do using fmcibie or fmcbcexp:
/*
*
* FDL definitions generated by MQSeries Workflow at 2002-09-18, 03:22:11 PM.
*
*/

Jmac,
You are correct. What I meant was to have something like
2002-09-18, 03:22:11 PM as a file name.
eg. 2002-09-18PM.fdl
Is there a way in workflow to export .fdl with a timestamp as the name of the file itself?
Any ideas???
Thanks,Praveen

What I would do when I import/export from BT/RT I would name the file to be
TimeStamp.RT.EXP.fdl
TimeStamp.BT.EXP.fdl
TimeStamp.RT.IMP.fdl
TimeStamp.BT.IMP.fdl
May be you could add another prefix for PROD/TEST/DEV. This way I will get the log files too with the same name.

Praveen:
Workflow will only use the name of the file that you specify on the export command. You will have to use a script of some sort to generate the "Timestamp" name. This should not be very difficult.
GOOD LUCK

Yes, We have a utility that can do that for us. Just checking to see if workflow had something built in.
Anyways, thanks a bunch for the creative ideas everyone!
Praveen,
