Using the Command Line
Programs
This chapter includes the following topic:
♦ Overview, 2

26. Overview
PowerCenter includes command line programs that you use to perform tasks from any
machine in the PowerCenter environment. The command line programs allow you to run a
subset of tasks that you can complete in the Administration Console. For example, you can
enable or disable a Repository Service from the Administration Console or the command line
program, infacmd.
PowerCenter includes the following command line programs:
♦ infacmd. Use infacmd to access the PowerCenter application services. For more
information about infacmd, see “infacmd Command Reference” on page 19.
♦ infasetup. Use infasetup to perform installation tasks such as defining a node or a domain.
For more information about infasetup, “infasetup Command Reference” on page 263.
♦ pmcmd. Use pmcmd to manage workflows. You can start, stop, schedule, and monitor
workflows using pmcmd. For more information about pmcmd, see “pmcmd Command
Reference” on page 289.
♦ pmrep. Use pmrep to perform repository administration tasks such as listing repository
objects, creating and editing groups, and restoring and deleting repositories. For more
information about pmrep, see “pmrep Command Reference” on page 349.
To run command line programs on UNIX, you may need to set the library path environment
variable to the location of the PowerCenter utilities.
For ease of use, you can configure environment variables that apply each time you run the
command line programs. For example, you can set an environment variable for the default
domain name, user, and password to avoid typing the options at the command line. For more
information about environment variables, see “Configuring Environment Variables” on
page 5.
Entering Options and Arguments
Each command line program requires a set of options and arguments. These include user
name, password, domain name, and connection information.
Use the following rules when you enter command options and arguments:
♦ To enter options, type a hyphen followed by one letter, two letters, or a word, depending
on the command line program syntax.
For example, the pmrep Connect command uses a single letter option for the repository
name:
connect -r <repository_name>
♦ Enter options in any order.
♦ The first word after the option is the argument.
♦ Most options require arguments. You must separate options from arguments with a single
space when using pmcmd or infacmd. You do not have to separate options from arguments
when using pmrep.
2 Chapter 1: Using the Command Line Programs

27. ♦ If any argument contains more than one word, enclose the argument in double quotes. For
pmcmd, you can also use single quotes. The command line programs ignore quotes that do
not enclose an argument. Unmatched quotes result in an error.
Syntax Notation
Table 1-1 describes the notation used in this book to show the syntax for all PowerCenter
command line programs:
Table 1-1. Syntax Notation
Convention Description
-x Option placed before a argument. This designates the parameter you enter. For
example, to enter the user name for pmcmd, type -u or -user followed by the user name.
<x> Required option. If you omit a required option, the command line program returns an
error message.
<x | y > Select between required options. For the command to run, you must select from the
listed options. If you omit a required option, the command line program returns an error
message.
{x | y} In pmrep, curly brackets denote groupings of required options, as in the following
example:
killuserconnection
{-i <connection_id> |
-n <user_name> |
-a (kill all)}
If a pipe symbol ( | ) separates options, you must specify exactly one option. If options
are not separated by pipe symbols, you must specify all the options.
[x] Optional parameter. The command runs whether or not you enter optional parameters.
For example, the help command has the following syntax:
Help [Command]
If you enter a command, the command line program returns information on that
command only. If you omit the command name, the command line program returns a list
of all commands.
[x|y] Select between optional parameters. For example, many commands in pmcmd run in
either the wait or nowait mode.
[-wait|-nowait]
If you specify a mode, the command runs in the specified mode.
The command runs whether or not you enter the optional parameter. If you do not
specify a mode, pmcmd runs the command in the default nowait mode.
<< x | y>| <a | b>> When a set contains subsets, the superset is indicated with bold brackets < >. A bold
pipe symbol (|) separates the subsets.
(text) In pmrep, parentheses surround descriptive text, such as the list of the possible values
for an argument or an explanation for an option that does not take an argument.

30. Overview
You can configure environment variables for the command line programs. For example, you
can set environment variables to encrypt passwords, configure time and date display options,
or store the default login information for a domain. The environment variables you configure
are all optional. If you are running pmcmd or pmrep in interactive mode, you must exit from
the command line program and then reconnect to use changed environment variables.
On Windows, you can configure these environment variables as either user or system
variables. For information about setting environment variables on Windows, consult the
Windows documentation.
Table 2-1 describes environment variables you can configure to use with the command line
programs:
Table 2-1. Environment Variables

Environment Variable Line Description
Programs
INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT infacmd Limits the number of seconds you want the command
pmcmd line programs to spend establishing a connection to the
pmrep domain or service. For more information, see
“INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT” on page 8.
INFA_CODEPAGENAME pmcmd Configures the character set pmcmd and pmrep use.
pmrep For more information, see “INFA_CODEPAGENAME”
on page 9.
INFA_DEFAULT_DATABASE_PASSWORD infasetup Stores the default user name password for the domain
configuration database. For more information, see
“INFA_DEFAULT_DATABASE_PASSWORD” on
page 10.
INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN infacmd Stores the default domain name. For more information,
pmcmd see “INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN” on page 11.
