Using the Command Line to Export Workspaces to an Archive

The following procedures show how to export whole Workspace objects or any particular object under a Workspace, which are Workspace-enabled, to an archive (SIF file) using siebdevcli from the command line. Note that siebdevcli is supported on both the server (Windows and UNIX platforms) and client.

To export whole Workspaces to an archive using the siebdevcli command

  1. Open a command line and then navigate to the SIEBEL_HOME\BIN folder.

  2. Use the following command to run the siebdevcli.exe file:

    siebdevcli /c config_file /l language_code /u user_name /p password /d odbc_datasource 
/WorkspaceExport /Repository "Siebel Repository" /Workspacename Workspace_name 
/f object_export_file /ToVersion 1111

    The following example exports the modified objects that belong to MAIN and writes the file provided in the /ExportFile parameter. 

    siebdevcli /c tools.cfg /l ENU /u sadmin /p ******** /d oradev109 
/WorkspaceExport /Repository "Siebel Repository" /Workspacename "MAIN" 
/f wsexport.sif /ToVersion 9

    The following table describes some of the parameters that you can use with the siebdevcli command line.

    Parameter Optional Description

    /WorkspaceExport

    Yes

    Exports a whole Workspace.

    This parameter is only required when running siebdevcli in Workspace Export Mode (that is, when doing a Workspace export). This option is not required if running Import Repository Mode.

    /Repository or /y

    No

    The name of the repository.

    /WorkspaceName

    No

    The name of the Workspace.

To export objects under a Workspace to an archive using the siebdevcli command

/WSObjectExport /Repository "Siebel Repository" /Workspacename Workspace_name 
/i object_input_file /l log_file_name

    The following example exports the objects that the infile.txt input file specifies. It logs results to the export.log file:

    siebdevcli /c wsexport.cfg /l ENU /u SADMIN /p ******** /d oradev109 
/WSObjectExport /y "Siebel Repository" /Workspacename "dev_sadmin_ws" 
/i infile.txt /l export.log
