Using the SPB Command Line Interface

From the command line interface, you can perform the following tasks:

•Edit a PSF

•Validate a PSF

•Specify a user-defined packaging policy rules file

Editing from the CLI

You can make edits to a PSF from the command line.

To replace an attribute value for a specified file at the command line, use the following two options in combination:

•The -foption specifies the PSF to be edited or validated.

•The -eoption specifies the attribute value(s) to be replaced in the PSF indicated by the -foption.

The modified PSF is written to stdout unless re-directed to a file using the -ooption.

To replace the revision of product SPBdemo in the PSF file /opt/SPB/demo with revision A.2.0, you would enter the following:

spb -f /opt/SPB/demo -e SPBdemo revision A.2.0 -o

SPBdemoRev2.psf

•The -foption specifies the PSF to be edited or validated.
