Hi everyone, I have a kixtart login script which aswell as backing up to tape and disk runs exmerge to export mailboxes to folders/files.

I currently have 4 exmerge ini files for each of the 3 sites which has different servername, export locations and time stamps (12 files in total)

How can I make kixtart create a temporary copy of exmerge.ini with the server name etc etc rather than having all the separate files?

It would need to.
make a temp copy.
set servername, set backup location, timestamp (year) etc, run exmerge and delete the temp file then do it again with a different year etc etc?

Thanks.

If the file is in proper ini format then you can use ReadProfilestring and WriteProfilestring to change the file. They are both explained in the manual.

Here's what I came up with.
Very messy, any idea's how to make the code cleaner?

 Code:
Copy d:\Backups\EXMERGE.ini d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SourceServerName", "BENSMTP")

;==================================
;Exmerge 2007
;==================================

WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2007")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2007  00:00:00")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2007  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

;==================================
;Exmerge 2008
;==================================

WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2008")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2008  00:00:00")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2008  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

;==================================
;Exmerge 2009
;==================================

WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2009")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2009  00:00:00")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2009  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe
;==================================
;Exmerge 2010
;==================================

WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2010")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2010  00:00:00")
WRITEPROFILESTRING ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2010  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

del 'd:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini'

The values to write are different for each file so there is not so much cleanup that can be done. Cleaned up the screen output by adding $rc = in front of each Writeprofilestring line. This eliminates all the return codes being displayed on the screen.

 Code:
Copy "d:\Backups\EXMERGE.ini" "d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini"
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SourceServerName", "BENSMTP")

;==================================
;Exmerge 2007
;==================================
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2007")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2007  00:00:00")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2007  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

;==================================
;Exmerge 2008
;==================================
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2008")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2008  00:00:00")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2008  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

;==================================
;Exmerge 2009
;==================================
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2009")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2009  00:00:00")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2009  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

;==================================
;Exmerge 2010
;==================================
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "DataDirectoryName", "D:\Backup_temp\exchange\ben\2010")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageStartDate", "01/01/2010  00:00:00")
$rc = WriteProfileString ("d:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini", "EXMERGE", "SelectMessageEndDate", "12/31/2010  23:59:59")
Shell $exmergeexe

Del 'd:\Backups\EXMERGE.tmp.ini'
