HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide (TK981-96015, May 2014)

Checking the temporary directory for extended commands
The temporary directory for extended commands is used when Application Agent executes an extended
command. When the check tool for operation definition file is executed, a temporary directory for
extended commands is automatically created.
Make sure that a temporary directory for extended commands has been correctly created.
The temporary directory for extended commands is automatically created in the following locations:
directory-at-the-same-level-as-the-dictionary-map-file-storage-directory
The temporary directory for extended commands is automatically created according to naming
conventions. The following table shows the conventions:
Table 65 Naming conventions for the temporary directory for extended commands
Backup serverFile server or database server
• FTP_HOME_DIR-value\FTP_SUB_DIR-value\op-
eration-ID\BK
• FTP_HOME_DIR-value\FTP_SUB_DIR-value\op-
eration-ID\AP
• directory-at-the-same-level-as-the-dictionary-map-file-
storage-directory
#
\script_work\operation-ID\DB
Table 66 Naming conventions for the temporary directory for extended commands

• FTP_HOME_DIR-value\FTP_SUB_DIR-value\op-
eration-ID\BK
• FTP_HOME_DIR-value\FTP_SUB_DIR-value\op-
eration-ID\AP
• directory-at-the-same-level-as-the-dictionary-map-file-
storage-directory
#
\script_work\operation-ID\DB
#
For example, if the dictionary map file directory is L:\PTM, the temporary directory name is L:\
script_work\operation-ID\DB.
Temporary files created during execution of the extended command:
• Backup ID record file
• Backup information file
• SQL Server's metafile (When the backup is of an SQL Server database)
Checking the copy-group list file
Certain extended commands allow you to specify a copy-group list file as an option value. A copy-group
list file is a file that contains a list of multiple copy groups. When you specify a copy-group list file as
an option value, before you start actual operations using the extended command, you need to execute
the extended command EX_DRM_CG_DEF_CHECK to determine whether the copy-group list file has
been set up correctly.
For information on what is checked in a copy-group list file, see the description on the
EX_DRM_CG_DEF_CHECK command in the manual HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent
CLI Reference Guide.
