The Check-in Client Commands

co or checkout

Use this command to check out a registry path to the local file system or to a single dump file.
If you check out a local registry (which you have to set GREG_HOME path), just provide the path. For example:

• "/"
• "/path1" - If you check out a remote registry, provide the registry URL followed by the path.
• "https://localhost:9443/registry"
• "https://localhost:9443/registry/path1"

  Note

  When you check out to the file system, the file/directory names will have the URL encoded value of the corresponding resource name. For example, space will be converted into the "+" character and ":" will be converted into "%3A" (without quotes) character sequence. This was done to eliminate the possibility that some resource names are not supported to be set as names of files/directories of some file systems (under some operating systems).

ci or check-in

Use this command to check-in (commit) to the registry from a dump file or from the file system (an existing checkout or a new directory structure).

• If you are committing a dump file, provide a path or path prefixed by registry URL just after the check-in command.
• If you are committing a file system you can provide a URL of a registry followed by the command to commit it back to a particular location, or you do not need to provide any URL if you want to check-in it to the same location where you got the checkout.

  Note

  If you check-in a file which has spaces in its name, the tool will correctly check-in to a resource with the same name (containing spaces), but it will create a replicate file back in the file system with the name you get after replacing spaces with "+" character and you are asked to delete the original one.

up or update

Use this command to update an already committed local file system.
