Configuring the Package Manager

As a system administrator, you configure the command line tool Package Manager to manage Packs on an Automation Engine client.

To Configure the Package Manager

1. Set up the connection to your AE in the uc4config.xml file or copy your AE configuration file uc4config.xml to the conf folder.

   Example: C:\Automic\apm\conf

2. (Optional) Store your credentials in the login_dat.xml file that is located in the conf folder.

   APM accesses the AE. Therefore APM prompts for AE user name and password.

   Tip: If you want to store the credentials so that you do not have to enter them every time, store your credentials (system name, client, department, user) in the login_dat.xml file.

   Note: The password is never read from login_dat.xml. You must use the parameter -pw <password>.

3. (Optional) If you want to have the local repository somewhere else than in the folder where the Package Manager application is located (Example: C:\Automic\apm), you can add a location element in the pmconfig.xml file located in the conf folder

   Example:

   <localRepo> <location>C:\myrepo</location> </localRepo>

4. Ensure that the user executing the Package Manager has write permissions on the folder where the local repository is stored.
