When you start aworkflow, you can optionally enter the directory and name of a parameter file. The InformaticaServer runs the workflow using the parameters in the file you specify.
For UNIX shell users, enclose the parameter file name in single quotes:
-paramfile '$PMRootDir/myfile.txt' For Windows command prompt users, the parameter file name cannot have beginning or trailing spaces. If the name includes spaces, enclose the file name in double quotes:-paramfile ”$PMRootDirmy file.txt”
Note: When you write a pmcmd command that includes a parameter file located on another machine, use the backslash () with the dollar sign ($). This ensures that the machine where the variable is defined expands the server variable.
pmcmd startworkflow -uv USERNAME -pv PASSWORD -s SALES:6258 -f east -w wSalesAvg -paramfile '$PMRootDir/myfile.txt'
a nice description of INFA param file,thought of sharing post which i wrote about parameter samples.
