Last published : Jul 06, 2026
You can create a Business Application using the makeBE script. To create a Business Application, you need to use the import option of the makeBE script. The import option uses an existing CSV file to create a Business Application. The content of the CSV file determines the Business Application's objects.
To create a Business Application using the makeBE script
  1. Log on to the Management Server as the administrator or the root user.
  2. Run the following commands on Management Server:
    • For UNIX Management Server: /opt/VRTSsfmh/bin> perl vomadm makeBE --import /tmp/Samplefile.csv
    • For Windows Management Server: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\VRTSsfmh\bin>perl.exe vomadm makeBE --import C:\tmp\Samplefile.csv
  3. After the successful import, the Business Application is displayed on the Management Server console.
