modify

You can use the command option to update the existing scheduling items in the database.

Overview

The command option performs similar to new command, when you want to modify an item that is not available in the database. When you run the command, the selected item definition is copied and opened in a temporary file. You can then edit the file and replace the existing item.

Syntax and command line options

You must provide at least one scheduling item with the command to perform the action.

ocli model modify|m Scheduling item

Important: If you modify an item by changing its key, a new item is created without modifying the existing one. You can use the rename command to modify the item.

For the list of scheduling parameters that you can use and the format that needs to be followed, see the tables below.
