Creating a command file
During the capture phase, System Migration Assistant reads the contents of the
command file and archives settings. This section contains information about
command files and the statements that they can contain.
System Migration Assistant provides a default command file (command.xml), that
you can use as a template to create a customized command file. If you installed
System Migration Assistant in the default location, this file is located in the
d:\%RR%\migration\bin directory.
Note:
System Migration Assistant 5.2 uses XML technology to describe its
command file commands.
Consider the following points concerning System Migration Assistant 5.2 command
files:
v XML Command file must be saved in Unicode (UTF-16) format.
v The command file follows XML version 1.0 syntax, and is case-sensitive.
v Each command and parameter section must start with <TagName>and end with
</TagName>, and its value must be described between those tags.
v Syntax errors might cause an error when you run System Migration Assistant. If
System Migration Assistant encounters an error, it writes the error to the log file
and continues the operation. Depending on the severity of the error, the end
results may be corrupted.
