HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Command Line Interface Guide

NOTE: For backward compatibility with Service Control Manager 3.0, the -p option also supports the
Trusted and Untrusted User +T and -T options. The +T option creates a user with, or modifies a user to full
configuration rights. The -T option creates a user with, or modifies a user to limited configuration rights.
XML file support
The mxuser command enables full configuration or CMSSecurity rights users to add, modify, or remove HP
SIM users by specifying an XML file containing a list of users and user attributes.
Using an XML input file enables you specify additional information that is not included in the command line
options. This information includes a user's full name, e-mail address, and phone number. HP SIM processes
the input file in two passes.
The first pass attempts to parse the XML file and generate a list of users to process. This pass ensures that
the XML file is formatted correctly, that the user names are valid, and the user objects contain valid information.
During the first pass, if an error is detected, the process is interrupted, an error message is issued, and the
database is left unchanged.
If the XML file is successfully processed in the first pass, HP SIM attempts to process the user list collected
during the first pass. HP SIM processes the user list until it processes the entire list, or until the a logic error
is encountered, such as specifying a duplicate user during an add, specifying a nonexistent user during a
modify, or attempting to remove the last administrative rights user.
If an error occurs during the second pass, HP SIM interrupts processing and issues an error message. If the
input file contains valid user data prior to the invalid data, that data is processed completely and the database
is modified. All data subsequent to the invalid data is ignored.
