Universal Data Mover Manager for Windows
Overview
This page provides information on the Universal Data Mover (UDM) Manager, specific to the Windows operating system.
UDM Manager transfers files between any computers running UDM Server. Using a UDM command script, you indicate to the UDM Manager the actions to take. The UDM Manager connects to the UDM Server (or Servers) and processes your request.
Usage
UDM Manager is executed from the command line (interactive mode) or a script (batch mode. In interactive mode, commands come from standard input; in batch mode, they come from a script file.
This section describes the modes of operation, configuration and configuration options, and command line syntax of UDM Manager for Windows.
Modes of Operation
Under Windows, UDM can be run either in:
Interactive mode
Batch mode
Running UDM in Interactive Mode
To run UDM in interactive mode, enter the following at the command prompt:
This starts the UDM Manager. You will be greeted with a start-up message and the UDM prompt:
UDM now is ready to process commands. At the udm> prompt, you can enter any UDM command.
To exit UDM, enter the following command at the udm> prompt:
Running UDM in Batch Mode
To run UDM in batch mode, enter udm on the command line and specify a script file via the SCRIPT_FILE option.
For example:
When the script file has finished executing, UDM exits automatically.
Configuration
Configuration consists of:
Setting default options and preferences for all executions of UDM Manager.
Setting options and preferences for a single execution of UDM Manager.
Configuration options are read from the following sources:
Command line
Command file
Environment variables
Configuration file
The order of precedence is the same as the list above; command line options being the highest and configuration file being the lowest. That is, options specified via the command line override options specified via a command file, and so on.
See Configuration Management for detailed information on these methods of configuration.
Configuration File
The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values will not change with each command invocation. These default values are used if the options are not read from one or more other sources.
Although configuration files can be edited with any text editor (for example, Notepad), the Universal Configuration Manager application, accessible via the Control Panel, is the recommended way to set configuration options. The Universal Configuration Manager provides a graphical interface and context-sensitive help, and helps protect the integrity of the configuration file by validating all changes to configuration option values.
Some options only can be specified in the configuration file; they have no corresponding command line equivalent. Other options cannot be specified in the configuration file; they must be specified via one or more other sources for a single execution of UDM Manager.
Configuration Options
The following table describes the configuration options used to execute UDM Manager for Windows. Each Option Name is a link to detailed information about that configuration option.
