Creating

a

command

file

During

the

capture

phase,

System

Migration

Assistant

reads

the

contents

of

the

command

file

and

archives

settings.

This

section

contains

information

about

command

files

and

the

statements

that

they

can

contain.

System

Migration

Assistant

provides

a

default

command

file

(command.xml),

that

you

can

use

as

a

template

to

create

a

customized

command

file.

If

you

installed

System

Migration

Assistant

in

the

default

location,

this

file

is

located

in

the

d:\%RR%\migration\bin

directory.

Note:

XML

technology

is

used

to

describe

command

file

commands.

Consider

the

following

points

concerning

command

files:

v

XML

Command

file

must

be

saved

in

Unicode

(UTF-16)

format.

v

The

command

file

follows

XML

version

1.0

syntax,

and

is

case-sensitive.

v

Each

command

and

parameter

section

must

start

with

<TagName>and

end

with

</TagName>,

and

its

value

must

be

described

between

those

tags.

v

Syntax

errors

might

cause

an

error

when

you

run

System

Migration

Assistant.

If

System

Migration

Assistant

encounters

an

error,

it

writes

the

error

to

the

log

file

and

continues

the

operation.

Depending

on

the

severity

of

the

error,

the

end

results

may

be

corrupted.
