Converting the Output Format

Use the reformat.util command to convert the output format of a command that has been written to a file. The reformat.util command reads data from the specified output file and reformats it by using the specified output format.

For example, you created a host and stored the output from the hdb.h.add command in serialized format in a file named hostFile:

cr_cli -cmd hdb.h.add -o serialized -u user-name -p password -name myhost
-tID NM:roxhost > hostFile

Use the util.reformat command to reformat the output to be the hdb.detail format.

cr_cli -cmd util.reformat -o hdb.detail -u user-name -p password
-self file:hostFile

The previous command results in the following output:
