Creating a trial plan

The following syntax is used to create a trial plan:

planman [connection_parameters] crttrial file_name

[ -from mm/dd/[yy]yy [hh[:]mm [tz | timezone tzname]]]

{-to mm⁄dd⁄[yy]yy[hh[:]mm[tz | timezone tzname]] |

-for [h]hh[:]mm [-days n] |

-days n}

where:
connection_parameters
Defines the settings to use when establishing the connection using HTTP or HTTPS through WebSphere Application Server to the master domain manager. For more information refer to Planman command line.
file_name
Assigns a name to the file to be created under the directory TWS_home/schedTrial and that contains the trial plan. The file name of the file containing the trial plan is Tfilename. This means that if the value assigned to file_name is myfile then the file name that contains the generated trial plan is Tmyfile.
-from
Sets the start time of the trial plan.
If the -from argument is omitted, then:
  • The default date is today.
  • The default hour is the value set in the startOfDay global option using optman on the master domain manager.
-to
Sets the end time of the trial plan. The -to argument is mutually exclusive with the -for and -days arguments.
-for
Sets the length of the trial plan. The format is hhhmm, where hhh are the hours and mm are the minutes. The -for argument is mutually exclusive with the -to argument.
-days n
Sets the number of days you want the trial plan to last for. The -days argument is mutually exclusive with the -to argument.
Note: The format used for the date depends on the value assigned to the date format variable specified in the localopts file.

If no -to, -for, or -days arguments are specified then the default trial plan length is one day.
