DESCRIPTION

vxinterface adds or merges an interface formalization XML file with the master interface formalization file.


OPTIONS

-i inputFile
Specifies an input file. If an input file is not specified, VEA\(cqs master interface formalization file (as specified in the registry) is taken as the input file.
-o outputFile
Specifies an output file. If an output file is not specified, the output of the command is reflected in the input file.
-a addFile
Specifies an XML file to be added to the input file.
-m mergeFile
Specifies an XML file to be merged with the input file.
-d -L intfPkgList
Specifies the ID of the interface package list to be deleted from the input file. The specified interface package list is deleted only if it doesn\(cqt contain any interface packages, unless you specify the -F option (see below).
-d -P intfPkg
Specifies the ID of the interface package to be deleted from the input file. The specified interface package is deleted only if it doesn\(cqt contain any interfaces, unless you specify the -F option (see below). The interface package will also be removed from all the interface package lists that contain it.
-d -I intf
Specifies the ID of the interface to be deleted from the input file. The interface will also be removed from all the interface packages that contain it.
-d -L intfPkgList -P intfPkg
Specifies the ID of the interface package to be deleted from the specified interface package list.
-d -P intfPkg -I intf
Specifies the ID of the interface to be deleted from the specified interface package.
-F

To merge VMInterfaces.xml with interfaceform.xml:

vxinterface -i interfaceform.xml -m VMinterfaces.xml

To delete a specific interface from interfaceform.xml:

vxinterface -i interfaceform.xml -d -I 
{3B4E39F3-86F8-11d3-AB8E-00C04F87C098}

To delete a specific interface package list from interfaceform.xml:

vxinterface -i interfaceform.xml -d -L 
{6944bea8-55f6-4fdf-b664-7ebc91899de2}

To delete a specific interface from a specific interface package in interfaceform.xml:

vxinterface -i interfaceform.xml -d -P 
{1b72a0cf-9539-4ee5-ace2-66be3d572373} -I 
{3A998F90-0AF5-11d4-ABB5-00C04F87C098}

To delete a specific interface package from a specific interface package list in interfaceform.xml:

vxinterface -i interfaceform.xml -d -L 
{6944bea8-55f6-4fdf-b664-7ebc91899de2} -P 
{1b72a0cf-9539-4ee5-ace2-66be3d572373}
