Other command line options

The command line migration tool can also be used to:

• Submit the migration as a task to the Dispatcher Client.
• Delete migration data (I-deas only).
• Download the migration report data to local folder.
• Create an Excel compatible report of the CMM migration attributes that are stored in migrated NX files.
• Update CMM attributes in Teamcenter. To submit the migration to the Dispatcher Client, type: (cmmBatch | nxmBatch) -mode submit -datatype -translator -priority -login —selection This will cause all items listed in the selectionFile to be migrated as a single Dispatcher task. The Dispatcher translator is specified by the –translator parameter and can be one of the 4 CMM translators. To delete scratch migration data after migration, type the following. (cmmBatch | nxmBatch) -mode deleteMigrationData -selection -login [-options ] [-runindir ] To download migration report data to local folder, type the following. (cmmBatch | nxmBatch) -mode downloadreports -datatype Appendix B: Batch migration

Batch migration -selection -login [-options ] [-runindir ] To create an Excel compatible report of the CMM migration attributes stored in migrated NX files, type the following: (cmmBatch | nxmBatch) -mode reportNXAttr -selection -login -NXAttrFile For the commands shown above, the selectionFile can be created using the standard CMM menu option to save a selection for CMMBatch. You must select either a source CAD dataset or an Item Revision. To process large groups of items, such as hundreds of individual parts during migration, you can create the selection file programmatically or by hand as long as you follow the format of the file created by the CMM menu option Save Selection for Batch. To update CMM attributes in Teamcenter, type: (cmmBatch | nxmBatch) -mode attributes -datatype -selection -login [-options ] [-runindir ] The selection file for updating attributes is different from the other selection files. This file is derived from the output file of the cmmReport –mode post command described in the Command line report utility appendix. This command creates an XML file that can be edited to set the desired values of certain attributes on the CMMAttributes form. To do this, change the values of the attributes in the Item Details table of the file. You can change the following attributes:

• Review Status
• User_data_1
• User_data_2
• User_data_3
• User_data_4
• Comments Batch migration
