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 c:\%RR%\migration\bin directory.
Note: XML technology is used to describe command file commands.
Consider the following points concerning command files:
• XML Command file must be saved in Unicode (UTF-16) format.
• The command file follows XML version 1.0 syntax, and is case-sensitive.
• Each command and parameter section must start with <TagName>and end with </TagName>, and
its value must be described between those tags.
• 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.
File commands
The following table contains information about the commands, with the exception of those concerning file
migration or the registry, that can be used in a command file:
