Tips and Tricks​

  • If <argurments> contain double quotes, they must be escaped.
Example

The following is where the argument contains double quotes:

spec=TRLMAIL,rnge-10-15-11*10-11-11,prm1=10-05-11,prm2=10-11-11,prm3=11,delm=",",file=lnmerge

Here is the same argument line with the double quotes escaped:

spec=TRLMAIL,rnge-10-15-11*10-11-11,prm1=10-05-11,prm2=10-11-11,prm3=11,delm=\",\",file=lnmerge
  • The AutoReplyFile setting in the configuration can be over-ridden on the command line.
Example

The follow is a command line where the AutoReplyFile is being overwritten on the command line:

[[SMAXPSetup]] run_xp_job.pl <XP2 Job Name> -AutoReplyFile=/ops/bin/AltAutoReplyFile.ini
