Using MU.exe

The VeriMove Windows command-line interface (MU.exe) allows you to run jobs outside of the GUI by a script or some other calling process, as well as by the unattended processing provided by Dispatch Manager.

  1. Select Start > Run.
  2. In the Open field, type cmd and click OK. A command prompt window opens.
  3. Change to the directory containing MU. Typically, this is the directory in which you installed VeriMove.
  4. Type the following: 
MU <jobName> [jobDef]
Table 1. MU.exe Processing Options
Option Description
<jobName> Name of the VeriMove job to run. When the [jobDef] parameter is not supplied, the job name must be the name of a valid job defined in the VeriMove job database. This is the normal way of running a job through the command line interface.

When the [jobDef] parameter is supplied, the job name can be the name for a new job or the name of an existing job (definition will be replaced by the [jobDef]). This parameter is required and is not case sensitive.
[jobDef] File name of a VeriMove job definition file to import for execution. For information about creating a job definition file, see Creating a Job Definition File. If the job specified in the jobName parameter already exists in the VeriMove job database, then its file path attributes in the existing job definition will be carried forward as default file path values for the job defined by [jobDef]. No other attributes from the existing job definition are carried forward. If the job specified in <jobName> is for a new job, then the job defaults are the same as those for a new job defined through the GUI. All file paths for a new job default to undefined and must be specified in the [jobDef].
  1. Press Enter. Processing begins. The MU.exe banner displays the VeriMove version information, job name, job start time, memory model, and job progress status.
