Argument Description
-?|-h|--help Show help information.
-c|--catalog <file> Defines the catalog file that you want to use. Example:
-c "catalog.xml"
-t|--target <path> Defines the target path for the downloads. Example:
-t "C:\myDirectory\"
-b|--baseLocation <path> Defines the new baseLocation in the catalog file. Example:
-b "\\foo\stuff\catalogs"
Modify the base location and the target
If you open the <catalog name>.xml file in WordPad, the default baseLocation is downloads.dell.com.
To modify the defaults:
1. If you plan to change the target path, you must create a folder before you run the .exe.
a. In the location where you extracted the .zip file, add a target folder and create a name.
2. In Command Prompt, run Dell.Command.Repository.Maker.exe, using the -c command to specify the .xml file and the -t
command to specify the directory.
3. Use the -b command switch to define the new baseLocation in the <catalog name>.xml file.
A new <catalog name>.xml file is created with the modified baseLocation entry. The previous file is renamed <catalog
name>.xml.orig.
4. Run Dell.Command.Repository.Maker.exe -c catalog.xml with the new catalog.xml name.
The content from downloads.dell.com populates the folder that you created.
Use the Dell Command | Update tool
When complete, update the source location within the Dell Command | Update tool to specify the location of the downloaded
DUPs to deploy updates to local devices. For more information, see the Dell Command | Update User's Guide.
NOTE: The Dell Command | Update tool reads the files in the catalog and implements the updates.
