Example

Suppose a software group named "swg_1" should be created and after this, a procedure group named "pg_1," which is a subgroup of the already existing software group "swg_1". The following commands create these groups.

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=createGroup name=swg_1

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=createGroup name=pg_1 groupType=PG superGroup=swg_1

To check the creation the following command will list all the software and procedure groups available:

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=listGroups recursive

Adding the argument "recursive" is important, otherwise the procedure group "pg_1" as a subgroup will not be listed, but only the top level groups.

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=listGroups

Now assume that a software group "swg_2" should also be created and a software group "swg_2_1" that is a subgroup of swg_2. Furthermore, another procedure group named pg_2 is needed. The following commands will generate these groups and the intended hierarchy:

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=createGroup name=swg_2 groupType=SWG

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=createGroup name=swg_2_1 superGroup=swg_2

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=createGroup name=pg_2 groupType=PG

Now the recursive list of groups shows the following:

cadsmcmd swlibrary action=listGroups recursive
