Creating an action script

How to calculate the difference between your completed script and the actual configuration in the database is described.

Procedure

  1. Start the TriDK XML Setup tool in interactive mode.
  2. Specify the Content Manager application that you want to modify (-App).
  3. Provide the username (-User).
    The value is case-sensitive.
  4. Provide the password (-Pwd) to allow the TriDK XML Setup Tool to logon into the application.
    The value is case-sensitive.
  5. Specify the action that you want to perform (-Action).
  6. Specify how the completed script needs to be compared.
  7. Provide the location of the completed script.
    This script is a valid XML script which was the output of the complete action and that contains action attributes.
  8. Provide a file name for the resulting action script.
    Make sure you give descriptive names to the output files, such as [xxx].completed.xml.

Results

An action script is generated.

Inside this script, the TriDK XML Setup tool has indicated the difference between the completed script and the actual data model stored inside the database.

Please note that generated action scripts depend on the data model stored inside the database. As such, the same completed script could result into different action scripts depending on the database (QA environment vs. production environment) on which you trigger the tool.
