Error with istool deploy finding package file

[johm73]

Here is my syntax:

istool deploy package -dom eswzp6900:9080 -u user -p pass -v -pkg F:\etl\data\DS_Packages\ILD_GL_Legal.pkg -ds '-repl "eswzp6900/etlqa"'

I'm running this command directly from the ETL server. No matter what I do it will not find the pkg file.

I've tried:

- setting the location in the Server Manager GUI
- using just the package file name
- escaping the backslashes in the path

I've searched the forums and not seen this be a problem for anyone else and I would think this would be easy.

Can anyone see what I'm missing here?

For grins, can you post the actual error message you are seeing?

Try the following:

-username or -user instead of -u

-password or -pass instead of -p

-file instead of -pkg

Note: "The specified file name must be relative to the deploy directory in the target system." It implies an absolute path may not work...

remove the double quotes

The Admin Guide shows istool options and examples.

The error message is: "ERROR: Deployment Package: *package_name* (in any format I tried just repeated from the command)

Invalid Deployment Package - 5"

The admin guide is what I followed but I find their guides have a lot of errors. They need to can the person that proof reads those.

The -file is what I was missing. I guess I got to the -pkg and saw the description say: package name. I wouldn't make much of a proof reader myself.

Thanks for the help.
