Using the ARSXML program

To use the ARSXML program to create the ODF objects needed for your distributions, follow the instructions and use the examples in this section.

About this task

The ARSXML program provides a batch interface to add, update, export, and delete ODF objects by using XML. You can use the ARSXML schema to define the objects in your XML file. See the Content Manager OnDemand Administration Guide for your platform for more information on the ARSXML program and for the schema tables for each ODF object.

In the examples in the following sections, a z/OS® server path is used to specify the path to the XML files, but you must use a path that is correct for your server.

To run the ARSXML program in each example, replace myod with your Content Manager OnDemand instance name, myoduser with a Content Manager OnDemand user that has system administrator or ODF administrator authority, myodpwd with the password for the user specified, and specify a file name that contains your XML.

The XML examples assume that the ondemand.xsd file is located in the same directory as the XML files. If the actual location of the ondemand.xsd file differs, then adjust the path accordingly.
