I'm starting into the process of releasing components and target designs
through our internal SCM group. They want everything to be done via the
command line so batch files can be used to log the operations. Is there any
way to import a component into the database via the command line and to
generate a target build via the command line? Thanks!

Hi Larry.
Yes, this is possible, using cmiexp.wsf which is in the Value Add folder of
the CD #1 to install the Embedded suite of tools.

Unfortunately, that script file is not very intuitive, it does have a lot of
remarks in the script though to help.

On my team, Nandini has actually started to develop some documentation
lately to walk you through the end to end process to import a component from
the command line, add it to an SLX, resolve dependencies and build it. Most
of that process will be done via an answer file.

I'll ask Nandini (or someone else on the team) to post a blog entry with
this information when she's got some spare cycles.

Thanks.

Okay, thanks! I'll take a look at the script. How's the best way to know when
the blog entry has been posted?

I'm trying to use cmiexp with a response file and a command line argument.
Here's my response file (importsld.rsp):

dbo LOCAL /ri
dbi %1
dbc
exit

Here's the command line:

d:\windowsembedded\utilities\cmiexp @importsld.rsp porttalk.sld

And here's the output; it doesn't seem to like the %1 parameter?

Thanks for the location; read it but still doesn't answer my %1 syntax error

I'm not sure what you were telling me to do? What 'answer file' are you
referring to and where is 'here'? Thanks!

Oops, nevermind I see your earlier mail with the response file info i was

I forwarded the info on for someone to look at and should respond to this

Thanks Larry.

Larry,

This is not CMIExplorer problem. You just forgot that cmiexp is WSH script :-)

Run the following command:
cscript.exe CMIEXP.WSF //B //Nologo "@importsld.rsp porttalk.sld"
And it should do it.

(if you have the default handler for WSF set up in registry you won't need the header of the command above).

Regards,
KM
