exportauditlog command issued through cli.bat

[Andy Reimer]

When I issue the following CLI command through the workstation it works fine:
exportauditlog path("d:\\auditlog") name("Yesterday") startdate("20190730") enddate("20190731")

When I try to submit the same command through the CLI.bat, passing it as an argument I get the following error:
Parse error: Illegal identifier character "\"

Any thoughts?

Fixed it.  When passing the argument through CLI.bat I needed to put the escape character before each of the double quotes.

exportauditlog path(\"d:\\Audit_Logs\") name(\"Yesterday\") startdate(\"20190731\") enddate(\"20190801\")

Hi,

Yes. When running the cli from command prompt , you need to escape the characters. This is documented here for your reference -https://docops.ca.com/ca-workload-automation-de/12-2/en/utilities-and-soap-web-services-functions/using-the-cli/command-line-interface-cli/use-of-quotes-in-cli-commands , section - 'Use of Quotes in CLI Commands from Standalone CLI Utility'

Thanks and regards,
