Example 5–8 Uploading a Configuration File with the CLI

The Add Target Local command is the same for Pre-actions, Post-actions, Configuration files, Macros, and Probes. The following syntax is for Configuration files. This command creates a file declaration automatically. It cannot be used to add a file to an existing declaration.

In the CLI syntax, a category under the default Local categories is mandatory. See Example 5–1 on for the Add Local Category CLI command. See Add Target Local (-atl) Command.
