Convert XML to binary from command line

Convert XML area models to the proprietary binary format from the command line using the supplied program

AreaModelConvert.exe

. Only well-formed, schema-conformed, and program-validated XML files convert. When exporting from a command line, change to the directory containing

AreaModelConvert.exe

and the paths cannot contain any spaces. UNC names are also supported, as demonstrated in this syntax example: The syntax for the command line is:

C:AreaModelConvert.EXE InputFile OutputFile LogFile

Where:

InputFile specifies the path for the input XML filename.
OutputFile specifies the path for output binary filename.
LogFile specifies the path for log file.

Example:

C:AreaModelConvert.EXE \\Batchctl\SampleDemo1\recipes\ice_cream1.axml \\Batchctl\SampleDemo1\recipes\ice_cream1.cfg \\Batchctl\SampleDemo1\logs\convert.log

The command line validates the information in the XML file and overwrites the existing file specified by

OutputFile

. Error messages append to the log file. If the command line arguments are valid, the program returns a

0

(zero), indicating a successful import. If the command line arguments are invalid, the command line program returns a

1

(one), indicating a failure. View the return code in the log file to check if the conversion succeeded or failed.
