IBM® Rational® Asset Manager includes
a command-line interface that provides flexible, scriptable access
to library server functions from a command shell.
The command-line functions depend on a configuration file. The
configuration file stores information required to communicate with
the library server, such as the URL, user ID, and password. The command-line
interface searches for the configuration file in the .ram subdirectory
in the home directory of the current user. Alternately, you can specify
the location of the configuration file using the -config parameter.
For example, ram publish package.zip -config /etc/ram/ramcli.properties.
Configuration file syntax
- url
- The URL of the library server (the server running Rational Asset Manager)
- user
- The ID to use when accessing the library server
- password
- The encrypted password for the user ID
- community
- The default community name
You can create or update a configuration file from
the command line. If you are creating a configuration file, all parameters
are required. If you are updating a configuration file, you specify
only the parameters to change.
ram config -url library_server -u username -p password -c community_name -config configuration_file
