verbose

The verbose interface offers the user the possibility to create and execute CLI commands in a dialog manner. The interface is invoked by specifying the keyword “verbose”. The CLI establishes a session to the addressed manager and determines the type of manager, i.e. whether it is a CA ITCM Domain Manager or a CA ITCM Enterprise Manager. According to this type the CLI offers the user a list of commands that are valid for this type of manager. For a domain manager running SD the offering looks like

Valid Commands are:
========================
activate........aregsw
cancel..........comconf
compgroup.......configure
dereg...........deregproc
install.........jobContainer
managedcomputer recover         
regproc.........regsw           
renewjob........setdbcredentials        
stagingserver...swLibrary
targetComputer..templateGroup   
uninstall

quit
========================
Please, enter one of the commands above.............:

The user can select one of the offered commands and the CLI will guide the user through the valid parameters and their settings. Only those parameters are presented that are needed due to the already entered information. When all the needed information is acquired the CLI will execute the command. The output of the command as well as status information is written on stdout.

When the “loop” option is not coded, the CLI will terminate after the specified command has been processed. If it is coded, it returns to the command selection list, so that the user can specify and run the next command. Entering the “quit” command will terminate such a session. This quit command is valid in the verbose mode only.

All valid commands of the CLI are available at the verbose interface.
