global_transfer

Transfers all tasks of one user ID or resource pool to another user ID or resource pool. This utility provides the capability to transfer tasks, as follows: Users can transfer their own tasks to another user. Users can transfer the tasks of other users. Users with group administrator privileges can transfer tasks assigned to members of their group. System administrators can transfer tasks belonging to any user to a different user. When transferring tasks, such as do tasks or select-signoff-team tasks, the responsible party for each task is transferred to the new resource pool or user. When transferring perform-signoff tasks, the tasks of the current resource pool or current user are delegated to a new resource pool or user if the new resource pool or user meets the same requirements as if the task were delegated using the delegate feature in the Teamcenter interface. If the signoff task is associated with a signoff profile, the delegation is constrained to another user or resource pool of the group/role specified by the signoff profile and the list of users to select from is filtered. If the signoff task is not associated with a signoff profile, delegation to any user or resource pool is possible, and the list of users to select from is not filtered. Syntax global_transfer [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group-name] [-f=user-ID] [-t=user-ID] [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the user's password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -f Specifies the ID of the user whose inbox tasks are being transferred or the group/role resource pool inbox tasks of a specified group/role. Group/Role transfers resource pool inbox tasks for a specified group/role. Group/* transfers resource pool inbox tasks of a specified group and any role. /Role transfers resource pool inbox tasks of a specified role and any group. -t Specifies the ID of the user to whom the tasks are being transferred, or the group/role transfers resource pool inbox tasks of a specified group/role. Group/ transfers resource pool inbox tasks of a specified group and any role. */Role transfers resource pool inbox tasks of a specified role and any group. -h Displays help for this utility. Environment As specified in Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Files The gtransfer_xxxxx.log file provides a listing of selected tasks, whether they have been transferred (Y/N), to whom they were transferred, and if there were any errors in the transfer.
