Re: name the air commands in ab initio? Answer

#1
Here are the few of the commands we use

1) air object ls <EME Path for the object -

/Projects/edf/.. > --- This is used to see the listing
of
objects in a directory inside the project.

2) air object rm <EME Path for the object -

/Projects/edf/.. > -- This is used to remove an object
from the repository. Please be careful with this.

3) air object cat <EME Path for the object -

/Projects/edf/.. > --- This is used to see the object
which is present in the EME.

4) air object versions -verbose <EME Path for the object

-
/Projects/edf/.. > --- Gives the Version History of the
object.

5) air project show <EME Path for the project -

/Projects/edf/.. > --- Gives the whole info about the
project. What all types of files can be checked-in etc.

6) air project modify <EME Path for the project -

/Projects/edf/.. > -extension <something like *.dat
within
single quotes> <content-type> --- This is to modify the
project settings. Ex: If you need to checkin *.java files
into the EME, you may need to add the extension first.

7) air lock show -project <EME Path for the project -

/Projects/edf/.. > --- shows all the files that are
locked
in the given project

8) air lock show -user <UNIX User ID> -- shows all the
files locked by a user in various projects.

9) air sandbox status <file name with the relative path>

---
shows the status of file in the sandbox with respect to
the EME (Current, Stale, Modified are few statuses)
