Teamcenter Mechatronics Process Management utilities
update_gde_types
Allows site administrators to update the parent types of existing GDE types based on information provided in an input file. Syntax update_gde_types [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] [-s=parent-type -t=type1,type2] | -f=input-file -h Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -f Specifies the input file containing one or more lines with parent type and child type GDE information in the following format: Copy parent_type child_type_name1,child_type_name2,child_type_name3,... If the input file is specified, it takes precedence over information provided by the -s and -t arguments. -s Specifies the parent type to be set for the GDE types. -t Specifies the GDE types, separated by commas, of the parent type to be updated. -h Displays help for this utility.
