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.

In this field, do not use any of the words specified in Installing command line.

This keyword is optional.

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.
