Running pwxcmd Commands from the Command Line

Running pwxcmd Commands from the Command Line

You can run pwxcmd commands from the command line on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system.
To run pwxcmd commands from the command line:
  1. Include the directory that contains pwxcmd in the PATH environment variable. By default, this directory is the PowerExchange installation directory.
  2. From a command prompt, enter the pwxcmd command with its options and arguments. Use the following syntax: 
    pwxcmd 
    command_name 
    -service 
    service_name
     
       [-user 
    user_ID
     {-password 
    password
    |-epassword 
    encrypted_password
    }]
       [
    command_options
    ]
    The user ID and password or encrypted password options are required only if you enable pwxcmd security.
    For a PowerExchange Listener or PowerExchange Logger on a supported Linux, UNIX, or Windows system, if you enable PowerExchange LDAP user authentication, the user name is the enterprise user name.
    For example, you might enter the following command on Windows: 
    C:\Informatica\PowerExchange>pwxcmd listtask -service node1
    The output from the pwxcmd command appears on the command line or in a file to which you pipe the output on the Linux, UNIX, or Windows system from which you issue the command. For example, the output might appear on the command line on Windows, as follows: 
    C:\Informatica\PowerExchange>pwxcmd listtask -service node1
