Command line usage

Last update: 2023-10-02

Policy Update List Manager is in the \Reference Implementation\Command Line Tools directory on the DVD. To create a policy update list, use the following syntax:

    java -jar AdobePolicyUpdateListManager.jar
<i class="+ topic ph hi-d="" i "="">
  destfile [
 <i class="+ topic ph hi-d="" i "="">
   options]
 </i class="+ topic>
</i class="+ topic>
  • destfile indicates where the policy update list will be written.

To view an existing policy update list, use the following syntax:

    java -jar AdobePolicyUpdateListManager.jar -d
<i class="+ topic ph hi-d="" i "="">
  filename
</i class="+ topic>

The following table contains descriptions of the command line options shown in the syntax above:

Command line option

Description

-c configfile

Specifies the location of the configuration file. If this option is not used, the Policy Update List Manager will look for flashaccesstools.properties in the working directory.

-d filename

Displays information about the policy update list.

-e date (Optional) The expiration date of the policy update list. Use the format yyyy-mm-dd or yyyy-mm-dd-h24:min:sec (for example, 2009-01-31-14:30:00 represents January 31 at 2:30 PM).
-f filename [certfile]

Adds all entries from the existing policy update list. Only one existing file may be specified.

If this existing list was signed with a different credential than the one being used to sign the new list, specify its certificate file, so its signature can be verified.

-noprompt

Do not ask if the destination file should be overwritten. If the destination file already exists and -o is not set, an error will be returned.

-o

If the destination file already exists, overwrite it without prompting.

-r policyID date " reasonCode " " reasonText " " reasonURL "

(Optional) Revokes the policy ID on the specified date. An optional reason code, reason text, and reason URL may also be provided. Specify an empty string "" to indicate that no value is provided for the optional parameters.

The reason code must be greater than or equal to 0. Multiple -r options may be specified.

-rf policyFilename date " reasonCode " " reasonText " " reasonURL "

Performs the same action as the -r flag, but extracts the policy identifier from the given file.
