Generating Define.xml in P21 Community 2.2.0 using CLI

Is it possible to generate the Define.xml in 2.2.0 using CLI? I have used:

java -jar \\pinnacle21-community-2-2-0\components\lib\define-generator-1.1.7.jar -template=".......\\ADaM_define_spec_master.xlsx" -destination=".....\\define.xml"

However, I get the warning: -template=".......\\ADaM_define_spec_master.xlsx" is not a valid file (or is inaccessible)

The master template files does exist and the path is correct and when I manually feed this file into P21 I have no issues?

Thanks!

in addition to incorrect syntax there is also some bug

Hi David,

It looks like in addition to incorrect syntax there is also some bug.

To work around to need to (1) create a folder "define.xml" and (2) do not use name of attributes.

java -jar \\pinnacle21-community-2-2-0\components\lib\define-generator-1.1.7.jar "...\\ADaM_define_spec_master.xlsx" "...\\define.xml"

Again, note that "define.xml" in this example is a name of folder you should already create. You do not specify a name of define.xml file. It will be auto-generated by the system.

Regards,

Sergiy

Many thanks for your…

Many thanks for your response! I am able to generate the define.xml using the CLI. However, I always get prompted with:

The file ..............\define.xml already exists, overwrite? (Y/N)

This unfortunately requires user input and a break in the automation using SAS. Is there a possible parameter to input so the JAR assumes Y instead of user input?
