The
getDimensionValueId task returns a dimension value Id when
you specify a dimension name and dimension value specification. (This task is
the reverse of
getDimensionValueSpec.) This information may be useful for
debugging.
The syntax for this task is:
cas-cmd getDimensionValueId -d dimensionname [-h HostName] [-l true|false] -m managername [-p PortNumber] - s dvalspec
Where:
-d(or--dimension) specifies the name of the dimension that you want to get the Ids for. Required.-h(or--host) specifies the host where the CAS Service is running. If the flag is omitted, the default is the value of thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.hostproperty incommandline.properties. If the property is not set, the value then defaults tolocalhost. Optional.-l(or--isPortSsl) specifies whether to communicate with the service using an HTTPS connection. A value oftrueuses HTTPS and treats thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portproperty as an SSL port. A value offalseuses HTTP and treatscom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portas a non-SSL port. Specifyfalseif you enabled redirects from a non-SSL port to an SSL port. Optional.-m(or--dimension_value_id_manager) specifies name of the Dimension Value Id Manager that is getting the Ids. Required.-p(or--port) specifies the port of the CAS Service. If the flag is omitted, the default is the value of thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portproperty incommandline.properties, in(on Windows) or<install path>\CAS\workspace\conf(on UNIX). If the property is not set, the value then defaults to<install path>/CAS/workspace/conf8500. Optional.-s(or--spec) specifies the dimension value specification that you want to get the Ids of. Required.
To get a dimension value Id:
Example 15. Example of getting dimension value Ids
This example gets the dimension value Ids of the Bordeaux dimension value:
C:\Endeca\CAS\11.0.0\bin>cas-cmd.bat getDimensionValueId -m dvalmgr -d Region -s Bordeaux Bordeaux 1
