Load Batch & Output Management metadata
You can load the metadata into Communications Manager Repository using the LoadOutputManagementMetadata command-line tool. It is located at: <deploy root>\CommunicationsManager\Programs\<version>\Management\Instance.
Prior to loading the metadata, export the metadata XML file from a Batch & Output Management installation. To do so:
- In Communications Manager Studio, select the Administration tab.
- Click Configuration export.
- Select the location to export the XML file.
The tool uses the following parameters.
| Parameter | Required / Optional | Description |
| Instance!Number | Required | Specifies the number of the instance for which the management task should be applied.
For Docker, it is always set to 1. |
| Repository!User | Optional
Only required when the LDAP mode is disabled. |
Specifies the name of a Communications Manager Repository user with the "Allow login as Admin" right. |
| Repository!Password | Optional
Only required when the LDAP mode is disabled. |
Specifies the password of the Communications Manager Repository user. |
| Repository!Token | Optional
Only required when the LDAP mode is enabled. |
Specifies the logon token generated with Communication Manager Designer. For more information, see "Log in to Communications Manager Designer and Communications Manager Designer for Windows" in Communications Manager Designer Help. |
| Report!File | Optional | Specifies the name of the report file written by the management action. If omitted, the
default value is
output-management-metadata-report.txt.
If the path or file name given in this parameter already exists, it is overwritten.
|
| Source!Path | Required | Path to the metadata XML file to load. |
The resulted report file contains a list of Document Pack Templates that refer to the Batch & Output Management metadata that no longer exists in the newly loaded metadata.
