command line support

[Larry Waibel]

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!

 

[Andy Allred [MS]]

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.

 

[Larry Waibel]

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?

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
looking for.<grin>

I forwarded the info on for someone to look at and should respond to this
thread with more info.

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).

KM

Andy, Nandini,

Nice Blog!
It would definitely be very helpful to have some docs about the CMI and CMI Explorer.

Thanks,
Konstantin

PS. I wish I knew the Config.Activate method is the one I have always missed from my CMIExplorer scripts to be able to build my
configurations here. :-(

So I need to wrap the response file and all params in double-quotes? I ended up getting
around it by setting an environment variable and passing it in that way
