Parameters

The syntax for the afpmerge client command is:

java –jar AfpMerge.jar

The AfpMerge includes a set of required parameters and a set of optional parameters.

The following parameters are required:

-l

The input files list. Specifies the fully qualified list of AFP files to be merged. A semi-colon ‘;’ in the first column means the entire line is a comment.

-o

The output file name. Denotes the fully-qualified name of the merged AFP file.

The following parameters are optional:

noexit

No exit on warnings. Use of this parameter instructs the program to not exit on warning conditions. Warnings are still displayed to stderr.

Note:
• Only an AFP expert should use this option.

—tra(ce)

Trace file. Create a trace file named AfpMerge.trace.0 and AfpMerge.trace.1. The program alternates between these two file names so that only two traces exist on the system at any time.

-verb(ose)

Verbose mode. Write merge information to stdout. Use this information to determine how internal resources were combined.

-vers(ion)

Version information. Display version information to stdout.

Example:

-l <input file list>, required
-o <output file name>, required
-noexit, do not exit on warnings, optional
-tra(ce), create trace file (AfpMerge.trace.(0|1)), optional
-verb(ose), verbose mode, optional
-vers(ion), version information, optional

0
