To create a group of activity plans, complete the following steps:
- In the <WorkDir>\cfg directory, for each plan you want to include in the group, create a
plan configuration file with the following CSV format:
Xml_Name:Target_File:From_Depot[:ActivityName<delimiter>SWD_Package...]
Where:
- Xml_Name is a name that will form part of the unique
name of the plan within the group.
- Target_file is the name of a text file containing
the list of targets for the plan.
- From_Depot indicates whether the software package
distributed by the plan is to be distributed from a depot. Possible values
are T (true) and F (false).
- ActivityName identifies an activity that is to be
performed on the specified software package. The ActivityName must identify
an activity that is defined in the XML template you are using for this group
of plans. The XML template to be used is defined in the xml_base parameter
at the next step.
- SWD_Package is the name of the software package
to be distributed by the plan. .
The parameters ActivityName and SWD_Package form a pair separated by a delimiter (by default %). Repeat
this pair of parameters for each activity and software package that are to
be included in the plan.
- For each plan configuration file you created, create a file containing
the list of targets for the plan and save it in the <WorkDir>\Targets directory with the name <Target_file>.txt
- In the <WorkDir>\cfg directory, create the file Master_CFG.lst .
This file is in CSV format. Each line represents a base APM plan and has the
following format:
xml_base:id:Cfg_Plan:Exclusion_Flag
Where:
- xml_base is the name of the XML file to be used
as a template for the APM plan.
- Id is an identifier that will form part of the unique
name of the plan within the group.
- Cfg_Plan is the name of an plan configuration file
that you created for the plan.
- Exclusion_Flag indicates whether the ExclusionList
file is to be used when determining targets for this plan. Possible values
are y and n.
- Ensure that each XML file, identified by the xml_base parameter for each line in the Master_CFG.lst file, is present in the <WorkDir> directory.
- Run the activity plan group creation script:
perl wcrtplng.pl base_name
Where base_name is a name that will identify the group as a whole and form
part of the name of each plan that is included in the group.
The script
creates an XML file for each line in the Master_CFG.lst file. The name of each file is constructed as follows: base_name_id_xml_name.
The script imports the XML files to generate APM plans and creates the file base_name_dist_pln.lst containing
information about all the plans that have been created. All files are created
in a subdirectory of <WorkDir> called base_name.
