  • 1.  syntax - CLI command (cadsmcmd) to deploy SW to target machine

    Posted Nov 09, 2016 02:18 PM

    Hello Everyone and Hope all is well!

     

    Requesting assistance on how I can use CLI (cadsmcmd) to deploy SW packages to target machines.. tried but getting an error "Software does not exist" although I can confirm that this is available in the SW package library within the DM manager. 

     

    command I used:

    cadsmcmd install item="Adobe Reader XI 11.0.00" version="11.0.00" procedure="Network Install" computer=D23853 after=exacttime

     

    but getting this error:

    SDCMD<A000101>: Software does not exist

     

    Thanks

    The name of the package is

    Adobe Reader XI without the version then the version is as you have it.

    Thanks

     

    But I tried the one without the version as well but getting a different error.

     

    cadsmcmd install item="Adobe Reader XI" version="11.0.00" procedure="Network Install" computer=D23853 after=exacttime

     

    SDCMD<CMD000081>: Object not found.

    Firstly, Mr. KDomingo, I am hurt that you did not raise this question directly with me first! Have I not told you I am available to all my customers, past and present, for such questions? You owe me an apology! (JK)

     

    Now, on to the issue at hand, I believe that you are incorrectly including the version number with the package name (item=). I think your SW Package is likely named just ‘Adobe Reader XI’ and the version is ’11.0.00’.

    hello, i also want to install something on a target client. but i want to install a software procedure (with around 200jobs) on a target client from a remote pc with cadsmcmd.
    i thought i can just use cadmscmd install. but beside a procedure i HAVE TO put in an item and a version which does not make sens for my case. any idea?
