CLA Update log file

Always check the log file after performing this command line action. The log file may state that the Profit version is too old for importing CLA Updates.

Import a definition in all environments via a batch file option

You can perform the Definition Import action in all environments via an option for the batch file, by adding 'for /d %%d in ("*.*") do' and '%%d' to the default option /O. (The /d following ‘for’ is for directories, /f for files is also possible).

This may be useful if, for example, you have created an analysis, a report and an alert and you then want to import them in all your environments.

Example:

CD \Program Files (x86)\Profit\AFAS Data\Environments

for /d %%d in ("*.*") do "C:\Program Files (x86)\Profit\AFAS Windows\Kernel\Bin\AFASCMD.EXE" /O"%%d" /G"Administrator" /W"xxxxxxx" DEFINITIEIMPORT /M"T:\AFAS PROFIT rapportenlay-outs\import\" /E"viw" /O
