Ordering a job using the cli utility

The following procedure describes how to order a job using the cli utility. You must have proper security authorization when using the cli utility.

To order jobs:

1. Do one of the following:
   • UNIX: Log on to a Control-M/EM account.
   • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/EM is installed. You do not need to be in the Control-M/EM database directory.

     NOTE: For Windows client installations, open a command prompt window and navigate to the <EM instance name>\bin directory.

2. Type one of the following commands:
   • UNIX: em cli [-U <user_name> [-P <password>] | -PF <password file>] -H <Server Name>
     [-T <timeout in seconds>] [-DDMM] [-BY_FORCE] -JOB_ORDER <CTM_name> <folder_name> <job_name> <Odate> <Wait_Odate> [<With_Hold>] [<library>]
   • Windows: cli [-U <user_name> [-P <password>] | -PF <password file>] -H <Server Name>
     [-T <timeout in seconds>] [-DDMM] [-BY_FORCE] -JOB_ORDER <CTM_name> <folder_name> <job_name> <Odate> <Wait_Odate> [<With_Hold>] [<library>]

   When forcing or ordering a job, Control‑M/EM does not check if multiple jobs with the same name exist in the folder.

For more details about the cli parameters, see cli parameters. For the Control-M parameter name, see Parameter name cross references.
