Command Line JOB Deployment Error

[rajdeep]

Hi Team,

I am trying to execute a command on windows command prompt for deploying a job, but every time it's throwing the same error like below:

"INFO Initializing Job Deployment environment.
ERROR -metarepository is required.
ERROR The process will be terminated."

I don't understand I am passing the every detail arguments for the particular command, but why it's not taking the argument is totally shocking.

DeployJobs -host "xxxxxx.com" -user "sasdemo" -password "xxxxx" -port 8561 –deploytype deploy –objects "/Shared Data/Marketing/Test_Jen" –sourcedir "E:\sasconfig\Lev1\SASApp\SASEnvironment\SASCode\Jobs\Sourcecodes" –deploymentdir "E:\sasconfig\Lev1\SASApp\SASEnvironment\SASCode\Jobs" –metarepository "Foundation" -metaserverid "A5392QFF.AT000002" -servermachine "xxxxxxxx.com" –serverport 8591 –serverusername "sasdemo" –serverpassword "xxxxxxx" –batchserver "SASApp – SAS DATA Step Batch Server" –folder "/Shared Data/Marketing"

The above I am trying to execute from Meta server windows command prompt after navigating to E:\sashome\SASDataIntegrationStudioServerJARs\4.8 

Please let me know what I should do additionally to accomplish this. Also, want to understand, is there only one way to do this with Manifest file or from cmd line can we do!!

If someone can add some input it will be really helpful, I tried to follow the complete note from https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=etlug&docsetTarget=p1jxhqhaz10gj2n1pyr0hbzozv2f.htm&docsetVe... but still no luck.

The problem was the order of parameters what I was passing and there should be double quotes around all parameters values.
The deploymentdir and sourcedir if those can be kept after all servers and their properties then it is working. From .bat file sometimes it's failing, so direct command line is good option. Gud luck.
