release_man

Releases objects in batch mode without creating workflow processes or audit files. Syntax release_man [-u=user-ID {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=dba] [-spec] [-unrelease] -retain_release_date [-status=status-type] -folder=folder-name [-dataset=dataset] [item=item-ID| -key=[keyAttr1=keyVal1] [,keyAttr2=keyVal2]…[,keyAttrN=keyValN]] [-rev=revision-ID] [-relation=relation] [-datasetName=dataset-name] [-datasetType=dataset-type] [-force] [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. -p Specifies the user's 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. Must be the dba group. See restriction #1. -spec Indicates that specifications and BOM view revisions of an item revision in the release folder are released along with the item revision. -unrelease Removes the specified status type. See restrictions #2 and #5. -retain_release_date Specifies that if the object to be released is already released, the original release date is retained. See restriction #5. -status Specifies the status type to be applied to all objects. See restriction #2. -folder Specifies the name of the release folder. Place the objects whose status you want changed into the release folder. See restriction #3. Status is changed only on the objects one level down within the folder. For example, if you place an item in the folder that contains multiple item revisions, and these item revisions contain multiple datasets, only the status of the item is changed. The status of the item revisions and their datasets is not changed. To change the status of the item revisions, each item revision must be individually placed in the folder at the same level as the item. Use the -spec argument to change the status of specifications and BOM view revisions of item revisions. -dataset Specifies that a dataset is released. -item Specifies the item ID of the dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. -key Specifies the key of the dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. Use the following format: Copy [keyAttr1=keyVal1] [,keyAttr2=keyVal2]…[,keyAttrN=keyValN] To find the key of an object, use the get_key_string utility. For more information, see Introduction to multifield keys in BMIDE for Data Model Design. -rev Specifies the revision ID of the dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. -relation Specifies the relation of the dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. -datasetName Specifies the name of the dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. -datasetType Specifies the type of dataset to be released. Use with the -dataset argument. -force Forces the specified release status to be unreleased, even if there is no release type associated with the status. Must be used with the -unrelease argument. -h Displays help for this utility. Environment As specified in Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Files As specified in Log files produced by Teamcenter. Restrictions The user must be a member of the dba group. The status type must be a valid status type defined for your site. The release folder must be a single folder directly inside the executing user's workspace Home folder. The release_man utility does not release invalid objects or objects locked by other processes. The -retain_release_date and -unrelease arguments cannot to be used together. Examples To apply the Released status type to all objects in the my_folder folder (including ItemRevision specifications and BOM view revisions), enter the following command on a single line: Copy $TC_ROOT/bin/release_man -u=user-id -p=password -g=dba -spec -status=Released -folder=my_folder To remove the Released status type from all objects in the my_folder folder (including ItemRevision specifications and BOM view revisions), enter the following command on a single line: Copy TC_ROOT/bin/release_man -u=user-id -p=password -g=dba -spec -unrelease -status=Released -folder=my_folder Related Topics Workflow Designer on Rich Client
