Detailed help or man-pages of scm sub-commands
Is there a way to get the detailed help for any SCM command. Currently when I try "scm help" all I get is command synopsis *without* any examples. Is there a -verbose/-all option I'm missing to use? Example given below.
pmn@rhel-vt> scm help workspace delete
As you can see, there are no examples of how to use this command.

No, the command help does not have examples but you could find some examples in the infocenter help.
Few examples:
and examples under each individual command at:

Thanks, Shashikant. BTW, I use V4.0 (Build Id: RTC-I20120612-0919) and corresponding CLI version (from scm -v) "com.ibm.team.filesystem.cli.client, version 3.1.0.v20120519_2357". How do I find the detailed examples for this version? The set of subcommands and their options in this version vary quite a bit from the list given in the URL.
BTW, is there a plan to add detailed examples right into the command help? This IMHO is needed because
1. With the various versions of RTC that are out there in use, users will have a definitive place to look to for help.
2. The help becomes self-contained.
3. It is the norm in UNIX-like systems to have all the details of commands contained in their man pages.
Just my two cents...

Yes, adding more information to the command help such as examples, status codes etc is in our backlog ... https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=231617

Thanks for point that out, Shashikant. BTW, this workitem was logged in Sep 2012 - more than an year ago. Do you know if this work is going to be targeted for an upcoming release? IMHO, fixing this will actually reduce the amount of trivial command-usage type questions that are being currently submitted to this forum and will help you guys focus on more important enhancements and bug-fixes. Again, just my two cents :) |
