converter.jar

The converter.jar utility converts REST call output files from compact MDC (CMDC) to compact XML files, compact XML to compact MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) files, or compact XML or MDC files to JSON files.

Note: Custom MDCs are defined in the /opt/mtx/conf/mdc_config_custom.xml file.

Syntax

java -jar converter.jar [-h] [-v] {-in:xml | -in:mdc} [-json] filename

Where filename is the file to be converted.

Returns information about the script.
-v, --verbose
