Generating Define.xml in P21 Community 2.2.0 using CLI

Pinnacle 21 Support Define.xml
1

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 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?

maybe we could move it to archive folder before we produce a new version.

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!
