Creating a group of activity plans

To create a group of activity plans, complete the following steps:

  1. 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:

    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.

  2. 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
  3. 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:

  4. 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.
  5. 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.
