- Orchestration CLI commands
  You can use the various command options in Orchestration CLI to achieve specific results. The command options are not case sensitive and you can use either uppercase or lowercase letters.
  - Access required to run Orchestration CLI commands
    You must have specific permissions to run each command in Orchestration CLI. The level of access to run the command is customizable and you can use Dynamic Workload Console (DWC) or Orchestration CLI to manage the roles.
  - Context commands
    The term context refers to the set of parameters in the config.yaml file that is used to establish an environment to run HCL Universal Orchestrator. You can create multiple contexts in the config.yaml file to manage the workload. This helps you to utilize the resources in a more efficient manner.
  - Model commands
    You can use the model commands to create or modify the item definitions for folders, jobs, job streams, and other scheduling or security items.
  - Plan commands
    You can use the plan commands to submit and run the job or job streams.
  - Plug-in commands
    You can use the plug-in commands to install, delete, or update plug-ins supported by HCL Universal Orchestrator.
  - help
    You can use the help command to view the online help or details about the commands that Orchestration CLI supports.
  - version
    You can use the version command to view the version of Orchestration CLI that is installed in your system.
  - Managing multiple config.yaml files
    You can create multiple config.yaml files in the database to run commands on different contexts without changing the default context. The feature permits you to use multiple config.yaml files at the same time.
  - Modifying context parameter temporarily
    You can temporarily modify the parameters in the default config.yaml file when you run a plan, model or plug-in command. This feature permits you to customize the behavior of a specific command without modifying the entire config.yaml file.
  - Special characters as wildcards and delimiters
    When you want to use filters to select scheduling items in the database, you can use a list of selected special characters as wildcards and delimiters.

  This topic explains how you can streamline your workflows using data exchange and transformation.

Managing multiple config.yaml files

You can create multiple config.yaml files in the database to run commands on different contexts without changing the default context. The feature permits you to use multiple config.yaml files at the same time.

When working with different contexts, such as development, staging, and production, this functionality is particularly useful. Each config.yaml file includes specific configuration settings for the corresponding context, allowing seamless switching between contexts. To create a new config.yaml file, simply duplicate the existing one and assign it a unique name that reflects the context it represents. Then, you can update the configuration settings within the new file to match the requirements of the specific context. After you create multiple config.yaml files in place, you can easily switch between them by specifying the desired file name when running commands. This ensures that the appropriate configuration settings are applied for each context, preventing accidental changes to the default context. By managing multiple config.yaml files, you can streamline your workflow and reduce the risk of errors caused by manual configuration changes. This capability provides a flexible and efficient way to handle different contexts. You can run the command as follows:

ocli [model|plan|plugin|context] [-file = Location of config.yaml file] command

or

ocli [model|plan|plugin|context] command [-file = Location of config.yaml file]

or

ocli [-file = Location of config.yaml file] [model|plan|plugin|context] command

[-file = Location of config.yaml file]: Specify the location of config.yaml file in your computer.
