Command Syntax

The syntax for any console command that requires parameters can be determined by entering that command with no arguments.

> workflow

usage: workflow *name* [*varfile*]

Command names are case sensitive and must be entered as shown in the command list. Parameters are not case sensitive.

Some commands take no arguments and execute if entered. This table contains a list of the commands that require no arguments.

quit or exit Exits the console shell

Syntax for Redirecting Command Output

Most of the commands report data or error messages to the console or standard out (stdout) for the system. The output for any command can be redirected to a file by specifying > filename at the end of the command.

This example redirects the output from the get command to a file:

> get identity Adam.Kennedy > c:\output\AdamKennedyID.xml
