Question

exporting result from CLI command into XML

Good Morning,

I apologize if it is a dumb question as I very new to this .

We have a requirements in which I have to collect data via PTC integrity tool. I am thinking of creating batch file but before I want to run command manually to make sure I am getting desire results.

I get the results by running

im issues --query='query name' <== That will give me result in the CLI window

I am just wondering if I can get the result(s) in XML. and then run the next command which is

im viewissue <id>

and get the result in xml file.

Hope I explained it properly

Hi

You could use the --xmlapi flag and redirect output to a file.

--xmlapi won't be supported anymore in the future.

Using Java API instead of CLI is recommended.

Kind regards.

Thierry

The MKSAPIVIEWER command-line utility may be your best bet. It's a wrapper for the JAVA API that accepts most (perhaps all in 10.9) IM and SI commands and outputs them as XML.

mksapiview --iplocal --xml im issues --query='query name'

As was previously mentioned, the --xmlapi option will not be supported in the near future. It wasn't correct in many cases anyway. the MKSAPIVIEWER should have a longer life and doesn't require any additional coding.
