UIE commands and parameters

One of the main features of Universal Information Exchange is that it provides intelligent defaults for parameter values and rules that permit you to create meaningful output (an XML file) with a minimum of user commands.

In most cases, you can take the defaults, however, UIE provides the option to change the defaults if they do not suit your needs.

Overview-of-UIE

To offer you as much flexibility as possible several UIE commands (such as WKL, SUITE, and APPL) have multiple parameters. Most of these parameters are optional. When you do not specify an optional parameter, the value of the parameter is not used by UIE when executing a particular command. For example, the WKL command enables you to create workloads specifying system ID and Service Class name. Therefore, you can assign to different workloads, Service Classes with the same name running on different systems. However, if you want to assign a Service Class to a workload independently from the system on which it is running, you can simply omit the SID parameter in the WKL command. The same principle is used for all optional parameters in all commands.
