> Perform functions using the command line rather than the graphical user interface
Create, modify, delete objects
> 4 interfaces:
Configuration Manager (including Credentials interface)
High Availability Job Status Console Job Flow Monitoring

Batch Interfaces: Whats their value?

> Do everything you can do in the UI, Plus:
Create default objects and copy/modify Import and Export data Export your current configuration to back it up Move a configuration between Core machines
Create scripts/jobs to perform tasks Encryption option

Propagating a Configuration
1. Export all configurations from the CA WCC server that has been configured. 2. Copy the text file created by the export to the CA WCC server that you want to run with the same configurations.
3. Change the server name where it appears in the text file to the name of the server you have copied the file to. 4. Import the text file on the server. 5. Deploy the configurations on the server.
6. Restart CA WCC services on the server.

> Propagating Flows to another WCC Server
Export all job flow definitions from the CA WCC server where they were created.
Copy the text file created by the export to the CA WCC server where you want the same job flow definitions. Import the text file on the server.
Note: The CA Workload Control Center Monitoring Server service is automatically restarted after the import is completed.
Note: If the job flow exists on the target server, you must take it off production and check it out to modify it.
