The document lists numerous Ab Initio string functions including char_string, decimal_lpad, string_length, string_replace, and string_split. It then provides a list of common Ab Initio commands including air object ls to list objects, air object rm to remove objects, air object cat to view objects, and air project show to view project details.

Re: name the air commands in ab initio? Answer


#1
Here are the few of the commands we use

1) air object ls <EME Path for the object -


/Projects/edf/.. > --- This is used to see the listing
of
objects in a directory inside the project.

2) air object rm <EME Path for the object -


/Projects/edf/.. > -- This is used to remove an object
from the repository. Please be careful with this.

3) air object cat <EME Path for the object -


/Projects/edf/.. > --- This is used to see the object
which is present in the EME.

4) air object versions -verbose <EME Path for the object


-
/Projects/edf/.. > --- Gives the Version History of the
object.

5) air project show <EME Path for the project -


/Projects/edf/.. > --- Gives the whole info about the
project. What all types of files can be checked-in etc.

6) air project modify <EME Path for the project -


/Projects/edf/.. > -extension <something like *.dat
within
single quotes> <content-type> --- This is to modify the
project settings. Ex: If you need to checkin *.java files
into the EME, you may need to add the extension first.

7) air lock show -project <EME Path for the project -


/Projects/edf/.. > --- shows all the files that are
locked
in the given project

8) air lock show -user <UNIX User ID> -- shows all the
files locked by a user in various projects.

9) air sandbox status <file name with the relative path>


---
shows the status of file in the sandbox with respect to
the EME (Current, Stale, Modified are few statuses)
