cmdgen command

Generates AMB applications, programs, and screens.

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

cmdgen /f [path\]configXMLfilename [/c] [/h | /?] [/m mapsetname[;...]]
 [/p programname[;...]] [/q] [/s screenname[;...]] [/{parameter=value}]

Parameters:

`path`	The full path to your configuration XML file. You can omit the path when you execute cmdgen from the cmdgnxml directory of your user test area.
`configXMLfilename`	The name of the configuration XML file containing the application(s) you want to generate.
/c	Specifies continuous mode, meaning that generation continues regardless of returned errors.
/h or /?	Displays help for cmdgen syntax.
/m `mapsetname`[;...]]	Specifies one or more mapsets contained in the configuration XML file that you want to generate with this command. This enables you to choose a subset of mapsets rather than generating all of them. Separate multiple mapset names with a semicolon (;).
/p `programname`[;...]]	Specifies one or more programs contained in the configuration XML file that you want to generate with this command. This enables you to choose a subset of programs rather than generating all of them. Separate multiple program names with a semicolon (;).
/q	Specifies quiet mode, meaning that the console screen does not display output.
/s `screenname`[;...]	Specifies one or more screens contained in the configuration XML file that you want to generate with this command. This enables you to choose a subset of screens rather than generating all of them. Separate multiple screen names with a semicolon (;).
/{`parameter`=`value`}	Specifies a parameter and a value to override the value specified for that parameter in the configuration XML file or, if the parameter is not defined in the configuration XML file, to specify a parameter and a value in addition to those defined in the configuration XML file.

Examples:

Example 1

Generates all programs and screens defined in a configuration XML file created for the myapp application:

cmdgen /f ap_myapp.xml

Example 2

Generates only the myprog program and the myscreen screen, both defined in the configuration file generated for the myapp application:

cmdgen /f ap_myapp.xml /p myprog /s myscreen

Example 3

Generates just the programs screens specified, all of which are defined in the configuration file:

cmdgen /f ap_myapp.xml /p myprog1;myprog2 /s myscreen1;myscreen2

Example 4

Generates an entire application, overriding the value defined in the configuration XML file for the WORKGROUP parameter with an alternate value:

cmdgen /f ap_myapp.xml /[WORKGROUP=QAGROUP1]
