makeBE script parameters details

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
You can view the makeBE script-related parameters by typing the following command on the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server:
perl vomadm makeBE --help
The command output displays three operations that you can perform to manipulate the Business Applications. The supported operations are import, export, and user_defined_import. With these commands, you also need to specify the infile (a CSV file) that contains the information about the Business Application, its objects, and the type of operation you want to perform on the Business Application.
vomadm makeBE [--import <infile> | --export <outfile> | --user_defined_import <infile>]
infile: full path to the input file
outfile: full path to the output file
  • import: Use import option to create a Business Applications, add objects to a Business Applications, and remove the objects from the selected Business Applications. Import option also lets you update and delete an existing Business Applications. The operation type parameter (<oper_type>) mentioned in the CSV file determines the type of operation. To add an object to the Business Application, the value of <oper_type> is set to I, and for the delete operation, it is set to D.
  • export: Use export option to export a Business Application's content to a CSV file. The file can be used for the import, or verification purpose.
  • user_defined_import: Like the import option, you can use this option to add or remove Business Application objects. However, this option also provides additional flexibility for the Business Application operations. For instance, you can specify <obj_type> as 'host_name_pattern' and <obj_id> as the 'regular expression pattern'.
For example, the following expression adds all the hosts starting with 'vcs' to the TestBA Business Application: In this example, the value of 'regular expression pattern' is vcs.*.
'TestBA','host_name_pattern',vcs.*,'I',
