Managing a folder definition from the Orchestration CLI

In this topic you can find the syntax to manage a folder definition.

You can move items to a specific folder by using the ocli modelrename command.

If no folder is defined for an item, the default folder (/) is used. For more information, see: Configuring Orchestration CLI

Each folder definition has the following format and arguments:

Syntax

folder foldername
end
folder foldername/foldername
end

Arguments

folder foldername

The name must start with a letter or a number, and can contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores.

The name of the folder cannot contain spaces. You must include a forward slash (/) before the folder name if you want to define an absolute path, while it is not required for relative paths.

end: This keyword is optional.

The following table shows the supported commands:

Table 1. Folder commands
Command		Description
Model	Plan
list	listfolder	Use this command to list all the folder contained in the root or in a specific folder.
mkfolder	-	Use this command to define a new folder in the database.
delete	-	Use this command to remove a folder defined in the database.
rename	-	Use this command to modify the name of a folder definition in the database.
renamefolder	-	Use this command to rename a folder definition.
rmfolder	-	Use this command to delete a folder in the database.

The following example defines a folder named Europe, and two folders nested within each other: England and London:

folder Europe
end
folder Europe/England
end
folder Europe/England/London
end

The folders are thus created as follows:

The folder "Europe" is created in the default folder.
The sub-folder "England" is created in the "Europe" folder.
The sub-folder "London" is created in the "England" folder

In this example, the sub-folders "England" and "London" are nested into the folder "Europe" that has been created in the default folder.
